Knowsley residents can learn how to stay warm, keep fuel bills low and deal with debt at local ‘Get Energy Smart’ events.
The ‘Get Energy Smart’ events are just one of the ways that Knowsley Council is providing support to residents who are affected by the credit crunch and who are experiencing financial difficulties.
The events will take place in Whiston and Halewood on:
- Wednesday, 21 January 10am-2pm at Southmead Children’s Centre (Zebra Room), Lickers Lane, Whiston
- Wednesday, 28 January 10am-2pm at Oak Tree Children’s Centre (Chestnut Room), Lichfield Road, Halewood
Knowsley Council and its partners are using the ‘Get Energy Smart’ events to raise awareness of the problems facing local people who struggle to affordably heat their homes and the role that energy efficiency can play in making their homes warmer, more comfortable and easier to heat.
Residents will have access to energy saving hints and tips, fuel switching information and fuel debt advice. There will also be information to help people to stay healthy in the cold weather, keep their home warm and advice on benefit entitlement.
Cllr Morgan, Knowsley’s Cabinet Member for Regeneration and Economic Development said: "Knowsley Council works all year round to help local people keep their homes warm and healthy. It’s especially important in the current financial climate that people are aware of the help and support that the council can provide.
The ‘Get Energy Smart’ events will give people the chance to talk to a number of different groups all in one place. They can find out about grant information, advice on staying warm this winter, saving money on fuel bills and what to do if they are worried about debt.”
