Householders are being urged to take
control of spiralling energy bills.
Hambleton and Richmondshire District Councils
are supporting this week’s 15th annual ‘Energy Saving
Week’ organised by the Energy Saving Trust. Rising wholesale
energy prices, energy company profits, and colder winters are
rarely out of the news so this year’s focus is on how to take back
control of energy bills at home. From top tips to
competitions, Energy Saving Week, will offer the best ways to save
through its themed days - including renewable technologies,
recommended products, energy efficiency in the home and
transport.
Energy Saving Week runs from October 24 –
28.
