- The money saving tips could help to tackle some of the extra financial burden caused by the energy crisis
One of the biggest financial crisis in recent times is putting tens of millions of people into debt. With the cost of living rising and energy bills going through the roof, people are spending more to keep warm and have less money for luxuries.
We have spoken to people in Greater Lincolnshire including Skegness, Scunthorpe, Lincoln, Grimsby, Boston, and Grantham who have said they are worried about the rise in energy bills. Some have said the increase will force them to limit the number of hours they heat their homes.
