Heating oil costs spike – cash support on the way for rural households

Comments Off on Heating oil costs spike – cash support on the way for rural households

Rural households across North Lincolnshire who rely on heating oil are set to receive extra help – with funding on the way.

Communities and residents across North Lincolnshire have been identified as one of the areas set to benefit from a share of new funding aimed at helping rural communities hit hardest by rising heating oil prices.

Cllr Rob Waltham, leader of North Lincolnshire Council, said: “We know this is hitting people in our rural communities hard – families who rely on heating oil don’t have the same protections as those on mains gas.

“This funding is welcome, but the most important thing is making sure people get help now. If you’re struggling, come forward – we will stand by you and do everything we can to help.”

Cllr Tim Mitchell, cabinet member for transformation and sustainability, said: “We’ve always backed our rural communities – whether that’s keeping services local, investing in villages, or stepping in when people need support. This is about doing what matters for residents.”

While the funding will be formally allocated next month, residents on heating oil are now being urged to come forward and register their interest so support can be targeted where it’s needed most.

What you need to do

If you use heating oil to heat your home, register your interest through the council portal.

If you need help completing the form, you can also visit your local community hub where staff will support you to get registered.
