Winter Info Hub

We have brought together some key information, support, and resources to support our residents throughout the winter period.

Around 1 in 4 homes suffer from water losses, like dripping taps, leaky toilets and outdoor taps and hoses. Colder temperatures and changeable weather can cause a leaky pipe to freeze, and sometimes burst, which could mean a hefty repair bill and an impact to your water supply.

Prepare your home now through checking for leaks and insulating pipes throughout your household. Reducing leaks could even save you money on your bill.

If you need extra support, SES Water is here to help. You may be eligible for one of its water support schemes if you’re having trouble paying your bill, or if you are just in need of some extra assistance.

Visit SES’s Water’s website for more tips and information.

For two years, Surrey County Council has worked with partners across the county to run the Warm Welcome scheme – these are local venues that residents can access for a free hot drink and other support services between November and March.

In essence, a Warm Welcome space is a physical space run by a community group, charity, organisation, or business, where people can come to:

  • Warm up
  • Get a hot drink for free
  • Get energy advice & debt support
  • Enjoy some social interaction
  • In some settings also benefit from additional services such as free meals & activities

See an online map of Warm Welcome Venues in Surrey here.

We appreciate it can be confusing to know which service rests with which council.

Let’s help clear up the confusion! Here’s a list of the key services we offer at Mole Valley District Council along with those provided by Surrey County Council.
