Councils are readying “warm banks” amid spiralling energy costs that will see many households unable to heat their homes this winter.
In Bristol, the city council is preparing “welcoming places” for people to go to if their homes get too cold, while Dundee is planning to set up “cosy spaces”. Meanwhile, an Aberdeen city council spokesperson said people would be given “the opportunity to stay warm where required” in libraries and other public buildings.
We are interested in speaking to people involved in preparing warm banks in the UK. Where will they be? How long will they stay open? How widely do you expect them to be used?
