HOW BRIGG HOUSEHOLDERS CAN SAVE ON FUEL BILLS

FROM CHRIS O'ROURKE, NORTH LINCOLNSHIRE COUNCIL

Would you like to save money on your fuel bills? Sign up to our successful collective switching scheme that aims to help save you time and money on your fuel bills by finding you a better deal.
Households save on average around £250 a year by signing up to the scheme.
Since collective switching started in August 2013 it has saved local residents a total of over £100,000 on their energy bills.
Make sure you don’t miss out on these fantastic savings. Sign up to the free collective switching scheme and change your energy supplier. It is easy to do and there will be no disruption to your supply.
Around 97 per cent of households that have registered for the scheme have already benefited from savings.
It is free to register on the scheme. Registration opens on 6 December 2016 and the auction will take place on 14 February 2017. Visit www.northlincs.gov.uk/collective-switching to register.
Collective switching offers households the opportunity to sign-up to a scheme that allows the council to enter an auction with energy companies on their behalf, to secure a discounted energy price.
The scheme is run in partnership with iChoosr Ltd, the UK’s leading provider of collective switching.
You have until 10 February 2017 to register for the scheme. The auction will then take place on 14 February 2017, offers will be issued on 27 February and the scheme will close on 28 March 2017.
To request a paper registration form or for more information contact the council on 01724 297000 or email housing@northlincs.gov.uk
Coun John Briggs, Cabinet Member for Commercial Enterprise. said: “We run this scheme a number of times each year. It has become very popular, saving North Lincolnshire households thousands of pounds in total. It is easy to sign up and we do all the hard work for you.
“The offer is very likely to be less than you are currently paying, but if it is not, there is no obligation to accept.
“Once you receive and accept the offer, there is nothing else for you to do. There will be no disruption to your supply. The more people that register, the better the offer will be. There is no reason not to sign up, so what are you waiting for? Register today.”
