Oldham free insulation or heating system

Lexxi

This is for residents of Oldham only.
I have just received this email for free wall and loft insulation for people with certain health conditions or on certain benefits. It's not use to me but thought it might help some MSErs.

There is a footer on the email that wont copy and paste that says it is ongoing until 31/03/11 or until funding runs out
