With winter on the way, Stephen McPartland, Member of Parliament for Stevenage, is highlighting free help and the support available with energy bills.

Stephen McPartland MP said, “It is really important to be prepared for winter. Being energy efficient and keeping bills under control is vital.

"There are a number of simple steps that everyone can take to make sure they are doing all they can to keep their bills down and their home warm. Make sure you are on the best gas and electricity tariff for you. Your energy supplier will be able to install a smart meter, which means an end to estimated bills. A smart energy monitor shows how much energy you are using, and what you are spending."

Customers who are vulnerable may be entitled to extra support from the Government and their energy supplier, such as the Warm Home Discount. A one-off discount of £140 on their electricity bill,  if they meet certain criteria. The British Gas Energy Trust is an independent charitable trust that offers advice and support for people who are struggling with their household bills, visit: www.britishgasenergytrust.org.uk.

The Twin Towns 1000 cycle ride is starting to gain fantastic support following its official launch by Stevenage MP, Stephen McPartland, at the Lister Hospital. The team aim to fundraise £100,000 to enhance the hospital’s services through the East and North Herts Hospitals Charity.

Stephen McPartland MP wished the cyclists well with their training and fundraising efforts, and said, "I encourage local businesses along with the local community, most of whom have accessed the services of the Lister Hospital at some point in their life, to get involved and lend their support to this fantastic fundraising initiative.

"This is a brilliant team effort to make a real difference in enhancing our local hospital services and I wish the cyclists every success with their venture."

The cycle ride is named ‘Twin Towns 1000’ as the route is over 1,000 kms and the team will be cycling from Harwich in the UK to the towns of Ingelheim in Germany and Autun in France, both towns twinned with Stevenage.

Further information can be found at: www.twintowns1000.bike or on Facebook: www.facebook.com/Twintowns1000/ or Twitter: twitter.com/twintowns1000 A Just Giving page has also been set up: www.justgiving.com/fundraising/twintowns1000
