MP WELCOMES 4112 WARMER HOMES IN STOURBRIDGE
Lynda Waltho MP is celebrating the work of the Warm Front Scheme in tackling fuel poverty in Stourbridge and urging more people to come forward and get help with measures that could cut their energy bills by as much as £600 a year.
Lynda said: The Warm Front scheme helps people improve their homes’ energy efficiency and are vital in helping increasing numbers of people who area finding energy bills a heavy burden.
“Policies which tackle climate change are crucial and so seeing Warm Front doing that while addressing the growing social issue of fuel poverty is very important to our communities”
Warm Front provides grants of up to £3,500 towards insulation and gas heating measures and £6,000 for oil heating to low income families, the elderly and people with disabilities.
Lynda Waltho MP continued: “Over £4.5 million pounds has been invested in Warm Front in Stourbridge to date. Many who have benefited from the scheme report average savings on their fuel bills of anything between £300 and £600 a year.
“With schemes like Warm Front and the winter fuel allowance, there’s lots of help for people to help pay for the cost of domestic heating. If people aren’t sure if they’re entitled to help, they should call my office on 01384 374356”
