The council set aside £258,000 for the Discretionary Emergency Fuel Support Programme
The council said the "short delay" followed "the unsuccessful appointment of a fuel payment partner" but did not give a new date. A statement said: "The council confirmed that another process has been instigated and while this will result in a short delay, it is hoped the matters will be resolved quickly and council will be in a position to provide a further update soon."The scheme, designed for emergency situations when a household is unable to pay fuel bills or buy a top-up, will operate by a referral system which can be made by any local support organisation, a local school, church or charity.
