RESIDENTS who are worried about their fuel bills are being asked to attend special energy advice surgeries being organised by Wyre Forest District Council over the next few weeks.
The council has arranged for experts from Act on Energy to be at sessions in Bewdley, Kidderminster and Stourport to offer residents free and impartial advice on how to save energy at home and reduce fuel bills.
Councillor Sally Chambers, cabinet member for health, well-being and housing, said: “We have been lucky this year to have a mild start to the winter but I can still be a worrying time of year, so if you are concerned about winter fuel bills, or just want to find out how you could make your home more energy efficient, then please come along.
“All advice is free and impartial.”
The first session will be held at Bewdley Library on Thursday (January 21) between 10am and 1pm, followed by a session at Kidderminster Town Hall, as part of the Greener Living Show, on Saturday, January 30, between 10.30am and 2.30pm.
The final session will be held at Stourport Library on Thursday, February 18, between 10am and 1pm.
Residents wishing to attend an energy advice surgery can drop in at any time and there is no need to book.
Act on Energy also run a free energy helpline on 0800 9882881 for anyone who can’t attend the sessions.
