conserving heat around the home is not something that springs to mind in the heatwave, but many residents may be unaware they are eligible for an insulation grant from Swindon Council.
Homeowners who have children under four-years-old qualify for a 100 per cent grant.
People who own or privately rent, if the property was built before 1980, those over 70-years-old, those registered disabled or in receipt of an income-related benefit could also qualify.
Call the council's home energy conservation officer on Swindon 466100 for details.
