Applications open for heating oil support – apply to Canterbury City Council

Emergency financial assistance is now available to low-income households in the Canterbury district who rely on heating oil, are close to running out, and cannot afford the minimum delivery volume.

To be eligible for oil heating support, applicants must:

  • Be aged 16 or over
  • Be permanently living within the Canterbury district.
  • Be in receipt of means‑tested benefits or have a total household income of £33,000 or less per year
  • Use heating oil as the main source of heating and/or hot water
  • Have 150 litres of heating oil or less remaining (priority will be given to households with under 100 litres)
  • Be unable to afford the minimum order required for a heating oil delivery

Where eligibility and evidence requirements are met, residents will receive an award of £300, designed to contribute towards the rising cost of heating oil rather than cover the full cost of supply.

For more information or to apply, go to our website.

This support is part of the Crisis and Resilience Fund (CRF), a scheme funded by the UK government to help low-income households. The CRF has replaced the Household Support Fund.

We expect the main CRF scheme to begin from summer 2026 and we will update you on this once we have further information.

For any queries, please contact CRFund@canterbury.gov.uk.

All residents of the Parish of Hoath are invited to attend the statutory Annual Parish Meeting to be held on Monday 13th April 2026 at 6pm.

Reopening Manston Airport – 2026 Airspace Change Consultation

/in /by

RiverOak Strategic Partners Limited (‘RSP’) is working to redevelop and reopen Manston Airport as an air freight hub.

RSP is carrying out its Stage 3 airspace change consultation from Monday 16th March to Monday 22nd June 2026. The consultation will provide residents, communities and wider stakeholders with details of proposed changes to flight paths and airspace structure.

The consultation will have several aspects to it, including an online portal where our consultation materials and proposals can be viewed. We will also be running a series of in-person and online engagement events where attendees can view our proposals and talk to members of the project team. Consultees will be able to provide feedback via the online portal, at the consultation events or via our Freepost address (FREEPOST 1616).

To ensure all stakeholders are aware of the consultation, we will be advertising in local press, social media and physical posters. We would be grateful if you could share the information with your constituents when the consultation launches. If you would feel that it we be beneficial, we can provide versions in hard copy or smaller versions to go in local newsletters. We can also support with the distribution of this information to groups who you feel may benefit, which can be arranged by contacting us using the details below.

The consultation will be run in accordance with airspace change standards governed by the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA). All progress regarding the consultation and wider airspace change process is available to view on the CAA’s online portal, https://airspacechange.caa.co.uk/.

We will write to you and other relevant stakeholders again at the start of consultation when full details of our proposals will be made available on the online portal.

Yours sincerely,

Owen.
