Local MP, Gordon Prentice, has responded to a Motion from Pendle Borough
Council which was critical of the Warm Front Scheme, pointing to delays in carrying out work.

The MP said “Long delays are of course unacceptable, but we must not overlook the tremendous contribution the Warm Front Scheme has made to people here in Pendle. Over 9,000 households have benefited from heating or insulation help, and many of those have received an increase in their weekly income following a Warm Front Benefit Entitlement Check.”

“There will be many people who used to shiver through the winter who now have reason to thank Eaga and the Scheme.”
