Homes in Lichfield and Burntwood with a broken boiler could be given cash to get a replacement.

The money is being made available through Lichfield District Council’s Warmer Homes, Greener District initiative.

People on limited incomes and certain benefits are eligible for the funding.

Cllr Ashley Yeates, Cabinet member for regulatory services, housing and wellbeing, said: “Many people are unaware of the dangers that living in a cold home present to their health.

“The risk of a stroke or a heart attack increases, along with other conditions such as colds and flu.

“Unfortunately the risk of death from cardiovascular disease increases sharply during a cold snap. Just putting on another jumper isn’t enough for many people.

“That is why this funding is so important and we’re urging our residents, who think they could be eligible to have their broken boiler replaced, to get in touch with our Warmer Homes, Greener District energy advice line to find out more.

The Emergency Central Heating Offer funds up to 100 percent of the works, so it’s really worth finding out more about this scheme.”

More details are available by calling 0800 677 1543 or emailing [advice@mea.org.uk](mailto:advice@mea.org.uk).

Advice is free and impartial to all residents. Funding is subject to eligibility criteria, and callers will need to provide personal information such as their household income or the benefits they receive as part of the assessment.
