🌳Conservatives Step In and Pledge over £1m to Keep People Warm this Winter ❄️
🌳Conservative led Norfolk County Council will use £1.15m of the Household Support Fund to keep people warm and make ends meet.
🥀Labour’s decision to make the winter fuel payment means tested from this winter will hit thousands of Norfolk pensioners hard.
Councillor Andrew Jamieson, deputy leader and cabinet member for finance at Norfolk County Council said:
"We are extremely concerned about the impact that the government's decision will have on our communities. Winter can be an extremely challenging time for our older residents and the cost of heating your home can make it difficult to pay for other necessities.
"The county council will make sure payments make their way quickly to those who most need them, working closely with Age UK, Citizen Advice Bureau and other local partners.”
