Local residents are being invited to bring along any questions they have about their gas and electricity use to a special drop-in session organised by John Pugh MP and energy company E.ON.

The Energy Advice Surgery will take place on Friday 1st February at the Southport Eco Visitor Centre on the Esplanade Park & Ride site. It will allow Southport residents to receive face-to-face practical advice from energy experts.

The free event runs from 3pm to 5pm and is open to everyone, regardless of their energy supplier. The E.ON team will be on hand to answer energy-related questions, give general help with queries about tariffs and prices and share tips on saving energy and money.


John Pugh, MP for Southport, said: "The costs of keeping our homes warm are rising, particularly with the cold weather we've been experiencing. Anyone in Southport who is concerned about their heating bills, who want help in better understanding their tariff, and how they are using their energy, should come along to this free event."

Andrew Georgiou, Public Affairs Officer at E.ON, said: "Knowing what you can do to comfortably and safely reduce your energy use can mean savings on your bills, and this drop-in session is just one of the ways we're working to help people around Merseyside lower their energy consumption and address the issue of fuel poverty."
