‘Warm banks’ are set to open in East Renfrewshire to help residents struggling with soaring energy bills this winter – as warnings came that 19,000 homes could be pushed into fuel poverty.
East Renfrewshire Council is working with community organisations on a ‘warm spaces’ initiative and has set aside £100,000 for the project.
Venues have yet to be confirmed but the council has said its approach will be “community-led”, building on activities already taking place in the area.
