Greater Manchester council plans 'warm banks' in libraries to help struggling residents survive the winter
A Greater Manchester council has said libraries will be available for residents to keep warm this winter as the cost-of-living crisis bites. It comes after concerns were raised by the money saving expert Martin Lewis about the prospect that 'warm banks' may need to be used. Warm banks are spaces where people who can't afford to heat their home can go to stay warm.
'Warm banks' were confirmed by LCC at a full council meeting earlier this week, but councils in Greater Manchester have been quieter on the plans. The Manchester Evening News contacted all 10 boroughs of the city-region to ask if 'warm banks' had been discussed as a way of helping residents this winter.
Only two other councils responded to requests this week about 'warm banks'. These were Bury and Rochdale, who said while 'warm banks' had not been considered yet, they will be offering residents support packages to help them this winter.
