Copeland Council launches The Big Switch

Published: 08/08/2017

A FREE scheme to help residents save money on their energy bills has been launched by Copeland Council in partnership with iChoosr.

The Copeland Big Switch returns following two successful campaigns earlier this year, in which a high number of householders saved large amounts on their bills.

The scheme involves the organisers creating a large group of customers interested in cheaper tariffs, who then offer their custom as a group to the energy firm offering the best deal.

RESIDENTS will soon be asked to help Copeland Council update its register of electors.

The annual canvass - where householders are sent a form and asked to confirm who lives at that address - will start on August 7.

Updating the register means everyone who wants to vote is able to do so, and being on the register can also help with obtaining financial services like mortgages or phone contracts.
