Energy advice roadshows for Carmarthenshire
Carmarthenshire Council’s Home Improvement Team are hitting the road to help residents cut down on their energy bills.
Officers will be on hand at a number of locations across the county in the next few weeks giving advice at a time of year when people take the biggest hit on their household budgets.
On Friday, January 24, they will be present at Carmarthen’s Glangwili Hospital car park, and the following Friday, January 31, they will be visiting the Doctors Surgery at Trimsaran Leisure Centre.
In February they will be visiting Prince Philip Hospital car park; Meddygfa Taf in Whitland; Amman Valley Hospital in Glanamman and Llandovery Hospital car park.
People will be advised how to get help to improve the efficiency of their homes, as well as energy saving tips, and ways to manage bills and debt.
Energy Efficiency Advisor Graham Harries said: “We want people to be more aware of the simple things they can do to cut down on their bills, and also the support available to pay their bills or reduce their debt, or to make their homes cheaper to run.”
The team are also keen to visit town and community groups, and are urging groups to get in touch so a visit can be arranged.
Executive Board Member for Housing, Cllr Tegwen Devichand, said: “Nobody should suffer in silence – we know that bills are going up and people are finding it hard to make ends meet. We’d like to help in any way we can.”
