McMillan Welcomes Uptake in Energy Assistance Package in 2009-10

Stuart McMillan MSP (SNP) has today welcomed the news from the Scottish Government highlighting the number of households who have received help through the Energy Assistance Package (EAP) in Inverclyde. The number of households helped under the Energy Assistance Package (EAP) from April 2009 to the end of November 2009 was 665 in Inverclyde.

Mr McMillan said;

"I am pleased to hear of the uptake in households in the Inverclyde area who have benefited from the Energy Assistance Package.

"It's important that households throughout Inverclyde and Scotland continue to contact the Energy Saving Trust as they will receive advice on how to reduce their energy bills, also whether they are eligible for cavity wall and loft insulation and also what benefits and tax credits they are entitled to.

"Therefore, I would urge constituents in Inverclyde to contact the Energy Saving Trust on 0800 512 012 to find out what support they could receive in relation to making their homes more energy efficient."
