Ms Davidson, 67, of Low Ford, appealed to councillors to take action last year after seeing her monthly heating bill almost double from £108 to £213, while tenants of the development's social housing did not see the same increase.

Katie Steele from the larder said the event was free and "open to everyone", but prioritised those in hardship as well as school, council and social housing networks.

Housing Minister Matthew Pennycook said it would help local authorities "protect much-needed social housing stock" and build new homes at scale.

Newly-built social housing in England will be exempt from Right to Buy for 35 years, under government plans to further scale back the policy.

However, there are certain groups - such as customers with disabilities, those who live in social housing, and private renters - who were more likely to struggle to pay their energy bills.
