Here in Milton most houses are heated by gas as we had mains gas laid here in the sixties but some older houses are heated by other means, often heating oil, and owners of those can benefit from joining Cambridgeshire ACRE’s Community Oil Buying Scheme. Their bulk-buying scheme for domestic heating oil aims to bring communities together to make the most of joint buying power so that greater savings can be made and passed on to customers.

Anyone can join the Scheme; domestic users, community groups such as village halls or even businesses. All members pay a small annual membership fee but this is more than offset by the savings made on oil orders. The average saving is usual around 2p/litre off online prices. For more details visit the Community Oil Buying Scheme pages on their web site.

Thank you to Roger Day for the heads up on this one.
