Hello digitalservices@tunbridgewells.gov.uk

Here is your weekly update from Tunbridge Wells Borough Council

 
Energy bill icon
 

Energy bill support

Most households in Tunbridge Wells are getting a £400 discount on their energy bills automatically. 

In some cases, you do not get the discount automatically, for example if you:

  • pay for energy through a landlord, housing manager or site owner
  • live in a park home, houseboat 
  • use off the electricity grid
  • live in a care home and pay towards your care

If you know someone who does not get the discount automatically they may be eligible for support, find out more on the GOV.UK website.
