As heating bills continue to rise more people are affected by the cost of living crisis. One pub in Blaenau Ffestiniog, is offering its support to the local community during this time.
The Y Meirion has posted to its Facebook group that the pub will be open, with the heating on, and people do not have to buy anything to stay in the warm. Pub owner, John Ferguson, said that he would be heating the pub regardless of if people are there or not, so there is no need to buy anything.
Posting to the Facebook group, he said people are "more than welcome" to sit in the pub. He said: "Worried about heating bills? We will have the heating on in the pub on cold days, you are more than welcome to come sit in the pub when space is available, you don't have to buy anything. I can't believe I'm having to even write this post but with the way things are I believe it's necessary."
