    Marek I think its good that Sue is drawing attention to these things. As Sue says there is also a large feature in the Dover Express on this issue this week. I must admit I have not read the feature as of yet, will do, but it is important that these problems are highlighted.

    "3,000 Dover Homes Suffer Fuel Poverty" says the headline. Its by our good friend Kathy Bailes and it seems Dover is about the worst in the whole of Kent or near as dammit.

    There are various things available to the poor...not an expert myself on whats available but for example the winter fuel allowance is a great help for the older ones and so is the Loft Insulation. I believe loft insulation is FREE under a government scheme. I believe that to be the case for those on low income. And there are other benefits too. So if these poorer homes are made more aware of whats on offer by the feature written by Kathy as mentioned above, or by as much publicity as possible, well it will certainly help their case and might help to make them a bit warmer.

    The Labour government have done quite a bit in this arena to ensure things get better.
