Big Energy Saving Week Advice on saving energy and cutting fuel bills will be available to County Durham residents next week. Durham County Council is working with the Greater Durham Citizens Advice Bureau as part of the national Big Energy Saving Week (Jan 27 to Jan 31). Householders can call in to a number of venues to get advice on a range of energy-related issues, from how to ensure they are getting the best deal from their gas or electricity supplier to how to switch suppliers or tariffs. Information on ways to reduce energy consumption – for example by having loft or cavity wall insulation, replacing old fashioned light bulbs with energy efficient ones, replacing old boilers and not leaving appliances on standby – as well as how to take advantage of schemes such as Warm Up North, will also be available. People can find out more by going along to one of the following sessions, all of which will take place between 10am and 2pm: • Monday 27 January – Crook Customer Access Point, Crook Civic Centre. • Tuesday 28 January – Spennymoor Customer Access Point, Green Lane, Spennymoor. • Wednesday 29 January – Seaham Customer Access Point, St John’s Square, Seaham. • Thursday 30 January – Stanley Customer Access Point, Front Street, Stanley. • Friday 31 January – Durham City Indoor Market. For further information about Big Energy Saving Week and details on how they can get the best deal from their energy supplier people can call the Citizens Advice Consumer Helpline on 0845 404 0506 or visit bigenergysavingweek.co.uk
