A new cost of living online resource has been launched on Tendring District Council’s (TDC) website.

The site is designed to assist and signpost local residents and businesses to the support they might need over the coming months.

Information – supplied by the council and a variety of charities and local organisations – includes financial support, mental health and wellbeing advice, details of ways to save on energy usage, a guide to accessing warm hubs across the district along with outlining support for local businesses.

Lynda McWilliams, TDC’s portfolio holder for partnerships, said: “We know that these are difficult times for a lot of people across our district. The cost of living is having a big impact on communities, therefore having all this information readily available for those who may need support this winter is vital.”

Details of support available can be found on the TDC website at https://www.tendringdc.gov.uk/community/cost-living-support.
