Get ready for winter with the Council’s Oil Stamp Saving Scheme

Antrim and Newtownabbey Borough Council’s Oil Stamp Saving Scheme gives residents the opportunity to budget for home heating oil by purchasing £5 oil stamps. The stamps are then placed on a savings card for you to use as payment or part payment for oil at any of the participating oil companies.

Mayor of Antrim and Newtownabbey, Alderman Stephen Ross commented,

Home heating oil can be an expensive purchase, especially around Christmas time and our Oil Stamp Saving Scheme is a great way to spread the cost. It also helps residents to save up for a larger quantity of oil, which should enable them to benefit from a better cost per litre, saving money in the long-run. With the price of oil and other expenses on the rise, winter can be a difficult time for many.  As a Council, we have a number of schemes and initiatives in place to help support those in need. For details on this, please contact our Environmental Health Team on T. 028 9034 0160 who will be happy to give you advice.
