Warm Spaces Programme

That this House celebrates Stockport Council’s Warm and Well this Winter campaign, which ensures all libraries in the borough provide warm spaces for residents in the face of steep energy costs, and provides funding for voluntary community faith and social enterprise organisations to extend the range of the warm spaces programme across the borough; and calls on the Government to provide further support for local authorities who provide warm spaces for residents struggling with the cost of living, as well as considering the potential to expand programmes to provide cool spaces in the summer, thus providing people with respite from the wide range of extremes caused by climate change.
