With winter fast approaching, Stephen McPartland, Member of Parliament for Stevenage, is encouraging local residents to find out what help they may be entitled to with their energy costs.
Stephen McPartland MP said, "I would urge anyone who is concerned about staying warm in the cold weather this winter to call Home Heat Helpline on 0800 33 66 99 and seek advice. I would also ask people to look out for neighbours, friends or relatives who may be in difficulty and make sure that they are aware of the Home Heat Helpline and consider calling on their behalf."
Help available includes grants for insulation, new boilers, discount schemes and rebate schemes, while the Warm Home Discount provides eligible vulnerable, low-income households with £140 off their electricity bill.
