West Lothian Council has put up extra funding targeted at helping people meeting steeply rising fuel costs and a spiralling cost of living crisis this winter.
The money is in addition to nationally funded schemes already in place including the £400 reduction in bills agreed earlier this year.
SNP group leader Councillor Janet Campbell said the prospect of the winter months and coming cost of living crisis was “terrifying” and asked what the council was doing to help with fuel poverty.
