STUNELL WRAPS UP WARM TO BACK COLD HOMES WEEK

Andrew Stunell MP wrapped up warm to back Cold Homes Week in Westminster last week, following the release of new figures showing that 7 million people in England are in fuel poverty, with over 2 million children living in cold homes.

Commenting, Andrew Stunell said -

"Cold Homes Week is designed to focus attention on the poor state of many homes in Stockport and around the UK. It's the start of the Energy Bill Revolution campaign to get extra help for those in cold homes by providing more support to insulation and energy efficiency schemes."

"That cuts fuel bills, improves people's health, and helps save the planet by reducing carbon emissions."

Ed Matthew, Director of the Energy Bill Revolution said -

"We welcome Mr Stunell's support for the Energy Bill Revolution. It is clear that the lasting solution to this crisis is to stop homes leaking heat. This must be UK's number one infrastructure priority, it will save families hundreds of pounds on their energy bills and end fuel poverty once and for all."
