BROMSGROVE residents are determined to direct their energies into keeping their homes warm and snug this winter.

About 200 people visited the "Warm Front Bus" when it rolled on to Recreation Road south car parks last Thursday and Friday.

On board to give help and advice were environmental health officers from the district council as and representatives from EAGA Partnership Ltd, an organisation which gives out government grants for energy saving initiatives.

The council's environment strategy officer Keith James said: "People took the opportunity to come along and find out what grants are available and to receive general advice on energy efficiency."

Many visitors filled in questionnaires and will receive a report on how they can improve energy efficiency in their homes.
