Keeping warm
The Council's target is that all homes In the borough have access to adequate, affordable heating by 2015. Lack of adequate heating can affect people's general health and wellbeing.
The Council has a wide range of services, advice and support
available to anybody who needs help with heating their home or
staying fit and well during the winter.
