A WARM Front Bus designed to promote heating grants for the most vulnerable people in society will be in Chester-le-Street next week.

The bus is encouraging people to take up the Government's Warm Front grants for the installation of home heating and insulation.

Many elderly people, those with long-term illness, pregnant women and families with children under 16 may be unaware they can claim up to £2,500 from the scheme.

Energy efficiency experts will be on hand on Tuesday when the bus gets into Chester-le-Street Market Place.

For those who cannot visit the bus, which will be open from 9.30am to 3.30pm, Eaga energy efficiency experts can be contacted on Freephone 0800 3162810.
