Are you still delaying putting the heating on faced with rocketing energy bills?

You and Yours

Available for over a year

On this week's phone-in programme 'Call You and Yours' we're asking - have you turned the central heating on yet? As temperatures drop into single figures are you still holding back from switching the heating on because you're worried about rocketing energy bills? It's a worry which was perhaps made even more acute by the Chancellor's statement yesterday, when he suggested the energy price cap to keep bills down could disappear in April. We want to know what you're doing to avoid putting the heating on and your tips for keeping warm... We're also going to consider the risks involved with keeping the heating off. Might it lead to damp in the house....and how might this affect your general health? You can email us now at [email protected] - and do please leave your phone number on the email so we can call you back... Are you holding back from switching on the heating - and if so...how are you keeping warm? PRESENTER: WINIFRED ROBINSON PRODUCER: CRAIG HENDERSON
