How can they justify this when there are pensioners with heating systems in sheltered housing on Deeside that are failing after 5pm at night. The pensioners are going to bed to keep warm at 7pm at night?? They are unable to regulate the system because it is 20 years old and outdated. These tenants have been promised gas central heating for 10 years but told there is no money available
