ECO Flexible Eligibility
The Local Authority Flexible Eligibility scheme is no longer available in Buckinghamshire.
It was a government initiative that enabled local authorities to set their own criteria for low-income or fuel poor households to access energy company grants towards insulation and heating improvements.
You can check if you can still access ECO support with your energy supplier.
