A number of pensioners in a Shropshire town have seen their support for energy bills withdrawn by the government, a local councillor has said.

Cllr Julia Buckley , a Bridgnorth town councillor who also represents the west and Tasley area of the town at Shropshire Council, says pensioners there have reported confusion after their expected “Warm Homes Discount” did not arrive.

She said:"This has led to a lot of unnecessary confusion and distress for pensioners on a low income, who may well have budgeted for the benefit and could potentially not even realise this has now changed. "That lack of consideration means that many may not find out until they are already in arrears or find themselves in debt.
