Special Notice for Haydon Parish Residents Only
You will be aware that several Tynedale communities are now running successful oil buying groups and reducing the cost of domestic fuel oil by several pence per litre from this area's suppliers.
If you are interested in making such savings by joining a Haydon Bridge based group, please forward your contact details by e-mail to fuel@haydon-bridge.co.uk and an indication of your annual consumption if possible. There is no obligation on you to become a member but this will assist the Development Trust in assessing the feasibility of operating a parish scheme.
Over 50 households have expressed an interest already. The first order for January 2012 has been submitted. Please don't leave it too late for the next.
