Fuel poverty in Wales: 340,000 homes struggling in 2024
New estimates from the Welsh Government reveal that 340,000 homes in Wales were in fuel poverty as of October 2024, meaning they need to spend more than 10 per cent of their income to heat their homes. Ben Saltmarsh, head of Wales at National Energy Action, said: "Fuel poverty has deepened dramatically in recent years. "Too many are living in cold homes, rationing essentials, and mired in debt – with grave physical and mental health consequences. "Children are growing up in conditions that can damage their life chances for decades. "Paying over £1,700 a year for a basic utility isn't normal – and in many parts of Wales it's even higher, since north Wales faces the highest energy costs in Great Britain and south Wales is not far behind." He said the figures highlight a major challenge ahead of the 2026 Senedd election. Mr Saltmarsh said: "With significant expected consequential funding from the UK government's Warm Homes Plan, all political parties in Wales must commit to considerably increasing investment in energy efficiency should they form the next Welsh government." National Energy Action is calling for continued emergency crisis support, including help to top up prepayment meters and purchase off-gas fuel such as oil and LPG. The charity also wants the UK Government to offer deeper energy bill support for those unable to afford a warm home and is urging Ofgem to help low-income households repay energy debt, much of which was accrued during the recent energy crisis.

Anglesey caravan holiday let 'lawful' says council
An application for a Lawful Development Certificate was granted over the use of the caravan at Cae Owen, at Cemaes. The applicant had successfully shown that the caravan had been used for holiday letting by themselves, since 2020, and by the previous owners since the mid 1990s. The use had to have begun more than 10 years before the date of the application. MORE NEWS: Red Arrows set to fly over Gwynedd and Anglesey this week - here's when Food wholesaler renews sponsorship of North Wales tourism awards All the mobile speed cameras to look out for in North Wales this August The Cemaes application had been made by Alun Jones, and had concerned a caravan to the north of an existing caravan park. The applicants had explained in their submission: 'We completed the purchase of Cae Owen including the caravan park in March 2020, the weekend before the Covid lockdown. 'We didn't receive our completion documentation until many months following. 'Upon receipt, there was some information that was incomplete, or not present. 'That resulted in us having to formalise elements such as consents, not finalised by the previous owner prior to selling the property. 'This application is to formalise the caravan to the north of the park. 'It was highlighted by Mrs Joanne Roberts, in response to a previous separate application, that the caravan to the north of the dwelling did not have consent, but it was evident that it has been there since at least 2000. 'This was something we were not aware of at the date of purchasing the property. 'This application is therefore to obtain this consent and ensure compliance going forwards. 'The caravan has been used for holiday letting by ourselves since 2020, and by the previous owners since the mid 1990s.' The applicants had included a raft of evidence showing samples from the previous owner's diaries indicating booking details from 2014 and 2015 along with their own booking system download from 2020 to date. The application had also included a number of GIS aerial photos, visitor reviews, and a formal statutory declaration made by the previous owner that confirmed that the caravan was used between 1994 until 2000 as a holiday rental. The council decision was that it was considered 'lawful' and the decision was handed down on Wednesday, July 30, 2025.
