Opinions on energy sought

West Dorset residents are being asked for their views on government plans to phase out high carbon fossil fuel heating systems – as many households aren’t on the gas grid.

MP Chris Loder has launched a consultation on West Dorset households’ experiences with energy support schemes, and views on the Government’s current proposals.

He said: “Given the extent of the constituency that is without access to the gas grid, I am keen to understand the latest opinions.”

Mr Loder has challenged the Government’s proposal to phase out the installation of high carbon fossil fuel heating systems from 2026, fearing rural people may be disproportionately affected. Head to chrisloder.co.uk/ ruralenergy
