Parking on the pavement – is it illegal?

It currently brings a typical household energy bill in Great Britain for dual-fuel gas and electricity down to around £2,500 per year, and in Northern Ireland to around £1,950 per year. Energy suppliers will be fully compensated by the government for the savings delivered to households. The scheme operates, for the most part, in the same way for households across the whole of the UK. There are a few differences for those in Northern Ireland because of the different way the Northern Ireland energy market operates.
