Temperatures have dropped significantly as the cold snap continues. A number of weather warnings are in place across the country for wintry hazards as the cold weather continues into next week.
But people on the lowest incomes in hundreds of affected postcode districts will receive a £25 cold weather payment due to the freezing conditions.
The Government payments have been triggered for eligible households in areas where the average temperature has been recorded as, or is forecast to be, 0C or below over seven consecutive days.
