Old brick heaters

i want them to replace all brick storage heaters due to not been energy efficient and been locked on to Scottish power tariffs which not only is this highly immoral in this current day and age its also costing us a fortune in electric due to not been able to change suppliers

Why is this important?

it is important to reduce energy consumption to save the environment as well as reducing costs of overall electric use so the poorest people can survive and live happy lives

ombudsman offering me an extra £50 on top of £140 because Scottish power have applied for more time without even notifying me or anyone else, yet they were quick enough to apply to DWP for an extension also they still have not updated the website info to let anyone know nor do they care https://imgur.com/a/dVfkUR4

SBHA once again stating there is some sort of monopoly game going on when really these heaters are so old that there is only one electric supplier in the borders that supply's these heater there is no monopoly other than sbha's doing. electric company's aint thick they wont supply these heaters for a reason

response from SBHA head to MP

also i will include my reply here for your consideration

i also refer to the Utilities act 2000 section 13 in which i have the right to fair competition, which at the moment i do not... https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2000/27/section/13

it is not unreasonable to require new heaters in the mean time until a proper date is decided so i can thus switch suppliers and decide for myself. If they think this unreasonable then im more than happy to fight my cause in court or even go to the papers

The email which was sent to from the MP too sbha (MP to SBHA)

Dear Ms Mulloy

Mr .... contacted Christine Grahame’s office to bring to our attention the problem he is experiencing while trying to change to a cheaper electricity supplier, as you can see from his email below he is unable to move supplier which would save him money, because his property has an old meter which his old expensive storage heaters run from.

Can you comment whether SBHA will be upgrading the heaters along with single rate meters in their properties to allow residents to change to cheaper energy suppliers.

I look forward to your reply.

Thank you

Kind regards

Karen
