Communal warm places for those who can't afford to heat their homes are "on track" to launch this month in Bristol, the council has said. In June, Bristol City Council announced it was planning to set up 'warm places' across the city to help people who are struggling to pay their energy bills.
Another council in the region has since announced plans to launch a similar scheme. South Gloucestershire Council said last month that details for the scheme were still "being considered". In an update this week, Bristol City Council said that "Welcoming Spaces" are still on track for an October start. However, so far no further details such as opening date or list of locations has been shared by the council.
