Nicholas Falk is quoted in todays Financial Times in an article titled Oxford and Cambridge: tale of two cities shows housing disparity. 

For centuries they have been England’s twin cities, seats of learning and, now, booming science and technology economies. But despite all the parallels there is one area in which Oxford and Cambridge differ: housing.

Gain the knowledge and skills needed to motivate others in your community to improve the energy efficiency of their homes, reducing carbon emissions, improving comfort and reducing fuel bills.
