North Lincolnshire Council announces £300 heating oil support for eligible households facing rising energy costs. Unlike gas and electricity prices regulated by Ofgem, heating oil costs remain uncapped, leaving rural households vulnerable to market volatility. The council is distributing funds from the government's £50 million support package announced in March following geopolitical tensions affecting global oil prices. Council leader Rob Waltham emphasized that residents off the gas grid should not be disadvantaged by their location. Eligible households previously registered are being contacted with payment details, though new applications remain open. Successful applicants will receive the £300 payment directly into their bank accounts.
