Hyperthermia danger following fuel price increases

The Blackpool Evening Gazette recently highlghted the risk of hyperthermia caused by increases in the price of fuel.
Forum member Cllr Ramesh Gandhi said "I think where we have people in the borough already struggling to pay the bills it will have a big impact.

"There are pensioners out there on low incomes for whom the price rises will be very bad news.

"People might be tempted to turn off the heating.

"That is why we see so many casualties in the hospital and even deaths from illnesses because of the cold."
