Between October 11 and 22 North Lincolnshire Council is touring the area "bringing energy saving advice closer to you."
There will also be advice on the council’s Homelink that provides a vital service to those who, for some reason, cannot get to a local link office. So council officers visit residents in their own homes, offering a wide range of council and non-council related help and support.
Councillor Mick Grant, cabinet member for housing, said: “Many people are not aware of the help they could be getting – as much as £6,000 to make their home more energy efficient. We want to ensure that people are aware of the different schemes available to them. The event in October will help raise awareness of the help and support that’s out there, not just through the council, but through other agencies, too.”
