Libraries and museums to be ‘warm havens’ for people struggling with energy bills
Ministers asked for funding to cope with a rise in the number of visitors seeking shelter this winter
Britain’s libraries and museums are preparing to act as warm havens for people unable to afford to heat their homes in the winter months.
Ministers are being called on to provide urgent new funding so public buildings can cope with a surge in visitors during the coldest months.
The buildings will be part of a network across the country which will provide warm shelter to help reduce excess winter deaths linked to freezing conditions.
The call for support to ensure key public buildings can keep their doors open comes as organisations across the country are being confronted with vast increases in energy bills. One care homes group told the Observer that its annual energy bills are rising from £1.5m a year to £7.7m.
Alistair Brown, policy manager at the Museums Association, representing the museum sector, said: “Museums will be relied upon to respond to this crisis, but many will be struggling to heat their own spaces.
Energy bills for the typical family could reach £6,000 a year by next April, it emerged last night.
New figures show the energy price cap, to be updated this week, will hit even higher levels next year.
The £6,089 figure, released by energy consultants Auxilione yesterday, represents a five-fold increase on where bills were until April this year, before wholesale prices took off and the price cap began to spiral.
Since then, gas prices have spiked to levels never seen before, as Vladimir Putin’s regime slashed supplies.Hard-pressed families are struggling with bills and face the prospect of more rises over the winter.
To those wondering how to wake up the normies: unfortunately, the vast majority of the sheeple won’t wake up until they suffer the consequences of their own support or acquiessence to the globalist Quisling governments they elected. By Christmas, enough UK sheeple will be experiencing severe rectal trauma that they might FINALLY start making the connection between their votes for globalist stooges and the economic reaming they’re getting from the corrupt elites & criminal central bankers.
