Fuel poverty and the Green deal


an event organised by Alnwick Friends of the Earth


As well as Rt Hon Suralan Beith, we are pleased to welcome Newcastle University lecturers Rose Gilroy and Neveen Hamza who will talk about their research into the causes of fuel poverty and people's experience of it, especially older people. We'll be looking in a non-technical way, at the government's proposals to tackle fuel poverty and reduce emissions from people's homes through the Energy Bill. We'll also be looking at the particular issues around housing in Northumberland. If you or someone you know lives in a cold home, do come and warm your hands on the heated debate.


There'll be plenty of chance to ask questions, share experiences and challenge your elected representative on his position.


This will take place on 1st April at 7.30 at St James Church Centre, Pottergate, Alnwick.

Admission is £1 and refreshments will be provided.

  2. It was interesting and there was plenty of useful information. Good to see that the government is doing something, but they could be doing better!
