Council hosts event to help people keep warm this winter

The event will be held at the Town Hall in Scarborough between 9.30am and 11.30am.

Residents can also receive free advice to ensure they are on the best energy tariff.

Andrew Rowe, the council’s housing manager, said: “We are very excited to be able to support these new initiatives providing measures such as wall insulation, loft insulation, room in roof insulation and in some cases replacement boilers or new heating systems, to our residents’ homes.

“We believe this could help many households in the borough to make their homes warmer and reduce their heating bills. For many residents, the energy efficiency measures will be free.”

Funding is available to homeowners and tenants of private landlords, subject to qualifying criteria.

Anyone unable to attend the drop in event and would like to find out more about the funding and whether their or their tenants qualify, should call 01723 232527 or visit scarborough.gov.uk/white-rose-home-improvement-agency
