Some Nottinghamshire councils say progress is being made on establishing 'heat banks'
Some Nottinghamshire councils say progress is being made on establishing 'heat banks' that would be used by people who can't afford their energy bills this winter. Ahead of a rise in gas and electricity costs this October, the concept of heat banks has emerged as one of the ways in which authorities could support people who won't be able to cope.
It is understood that discussions will be taking place at Nottingham City Council in the coming days on the subject of heat banks, although Broxtowe Borough Council says it currently has no plans for them. But many other councils are now actively looking into setting heat banks up. In a report to be presented to councillors at a meeting on Tuesday, September 6, Bassetlaw District Council says: "Work is in hand to look at venues across the district for possible warm spaces, what additional support these could provide and how the council can support this initiative."
Professor Aoife Nolan added: "In terms of supporting people, we have not seen the same level of action in this country as we have in countries with comparable levels of economic development. If we're in a situation where the government has the money to provide more support but it is choosing not to do so, then that is definitely problematic from a human rights perspective.
