One mum's nightmare that saw her having to pay up to £50 a day for electricity is almost over after a brand new heating system was installed in her house.
Mary Quinn, from the tiny village of South Alloa, on the edge of the Falkirk Council area, says she is overjoyed that after months of constant stress and worry she will at last be able to stop relying on family, friends and food banks to feed her family.
The new air source pump has replaced an electric heating system installed in hundreds of Falkirk Council properties ten years ago, leaving tenants locked into paying prices that have surged over the past three years. After a massive price hike last October, Mary found she was having to pay Scottish Power as much as £50 a day to ensure that her house had heating and hot water.
