ESCC SS Winter Home Check Service

Description : Tender for the Provision of a Winter Home Check Service in East Sussex

East Sussex County Council is tendering for the provision of a Winter Home Check Service for the eligible population of East Sussex as part of the East Sussex Fuel Poverty Reduction Programme.
