Lisa Appleton, of Manchester, fears the energy price cap increase is ‘going to put people over the edge’
Icicles sometimes appear in the bathroom, and an old television is used as a source of heat in the flat that Lisa Appleton, 48, shares with her friend in Fallowfield, Manchester.
Appleton is one of the more than 700,000 people in England and Wales who live in homes without central heating. Her home’s only real heat sources are two oil-filled radiators and an electric wall heater. “It’s been cold to the point where there are icicles appearing on the taps,” she said.
