Fire safety plans for Jersey residents living in tall buildings
Islanders living in tall buildings in Jersey are set to be consulted on proposals which experts say will improve safety. The Government of Jersey said there were more than 125 tall residential buildings on the island, towering 11m (36ft) or more, which housed thousands of home owners and said proposed fire safety regulations would implement some of the key recommendations from the Grenfell Tower phase one inquiry report, aimed at maintaining and improving of Jersey Fire and Rescue Service area commander, Jason Masterman, said the regulations would ensure self-closing fire doors and smoke control systems were "regularly checked and maintained". He added: "Residents will also receive clear fire safety information, and our crews will have access to simple accurate building floor plans and signposting to help them respond more effectively in emergencies"A total of 72 people, including 18 children, died in the Grenfell Tower fire which happened on 14 June in for Justice and Home Affairs, Deputy Mary Le Hegarat, said: "Thankfully, no similar fires have occurred here, but that does not mean we should not seek to make the places where so many islanders live as safe as possible."Approximately 19% of Jersey's tall residential buildings are estimated to be closely meeting the English regulatory requirements, with some others partially achieving them." Officials said while there had been no "significant evidence of excessive fire risk", the island's tall buildings, as a group, were at risk of falling behind similar buildings in England in three areas included the frequency of routine key fire safety checks, the provision of fire safety instructions to residents and the quality of building information provided to the fire said there was currently no dedicated Jersey fire safety law which required the buildings to manage and maintain their fire safety measures on an ongoing Hegarat added: "Creating regulations to implement some of the key building fire safety recommendations from the Grenfell Tower phase one inquiry report is a logical and sensible step in the light of the inquiry's findings."

UK postcodes with highest energy bills named as warning sent to millions
According to the Government's latest available data, the CR0 postcode in Croydon, South London, used the most combined electricity and gas in 2023 - twice as much as other boroughs Around 2.5 million households across the UK have been issued a warning as the areas with the highest energy consumption have been disclosed. The most recent government data has pinpointed the UK postcodes with the greatest electricity and gas usage, alongside warnings for households on Economy 7 tariffs. As of 30 June 2025, the Radio Teleswitch Service (RTS) began its phase-out, meaning the radio signal that operates Economy 7 meters will eventually be deactivated, rendering meter control impossible. This switch-off will impact energy customers who have an RTS meter in their property, potentially disrupting their heating and hot water supply. However, meters are currently being replaced nationwide in a phased manner to minimise disruption. It comes after Martin Lewis warned 'nothing to do with me' after complaints from money savers. Martin Lewis, founder of Money Saving Expert, previously issued a warning to households in June. Posting on X, formerly known as Twitter, he stated: "Got an old Economy 7 or multi-rate electricity meter? The 'Radio Teleswitch Service' which allows some old (non-smart) meters to function will be switched off at end of this month. It could mean your heating and hot water won't function properly, or incorrect bills. You need a meter upgrade now." As reported by Manchester Evening News, the latest available Government data said that the CR0 postcode in Croydon, London had the highest combined electricity and gas usage in 2023. UK postcodes with the highest electricity use The CR0 postcode witnessed 224,034,930.99 kWh of electricity consumption across 61,886 households in the region. This equates to an average of 3,620.12 per household, which is nearly 1000 kWh above the national average of 2,700. kWh used - Electricity CR0 224034930.99 E14 171017722.06 LE2 150549144.34 LE3 141917617.09 SL6 141616301.55 N1 131078524.94 BN2 129748451.88 SE1 125601027.36 E17 124215668.64 BN3 121700778.81 READ MORE: Thousands of people to get free £290 payment this year - see who is eligible UK postcodes with the highest gas consumption For gas usage, the identical postcode recorded 61,886 households consuming 695,027,142.56 kWh, positioning them marginally below the national average of 11,500 kWh at approximately 11,230 kWh per household. kWh Used - Gas CR0 695027142.56 LE2 570963489.32 LE3 482089812.55 LE4 463536589.02 NG5 436596630.24 LE5 426926424.31 SL6 426231598.44 ST5 414291175.62 CV6 401969225.78 SW19 394512742.79 Steve Ferguson from Jefferson Gas offered some energy-saving advice for residents adapting to new metres and tariffs following the switch-off. "The advantage of Economy 7 tariffs has always been the ability to carry out tasks that use a lot of energy at times when the pricing is lower or 'off peak'," he explained. "With the RTS switch-off meaning that this may no longer be possible, people who have relied on this to cut their energy bills may find themselves having to change their habits in order to adapt." Steve continued: "While it would require an initial investment, those with the available budget may wish to change their electric heating system to Gas, as per unit, electricity on average is around 25 pence per KWH with a daily standing charge of 51 pence, and gas is on average around 6-7 pence per unit. Depending on your consumption, you may be able to recoup your investment in a relatively short amount of time." He added: "Similarly, it's worth checking the energy efficiency ratings of any older appliances and updating them where possible, as this will minimise the amount of energy used in everyday tasks such as cooking or laundry. Even small steps such as switching from filament to LED lightbulbs can help to lower your consumption. Ultimately however the best way to cut usage is by building better habits." Research from 2018 revealed that households leaving lights blazing throughout the night waste over 3 million pounds every single night in squandered electricity - a figure that would be considerably higher given today's soaring prices. Steven said: "While it's certainly not a new message, remembering to switch off lights when you leave a room is arguably more important now that more people are working from home." "If you have the space, hang clothes to dry on sunny days instead of using the tumble drier. When you make a cup of tea or coffee, only boil as much water as you need and while a long bath is a great way to relax, a 4 minute shower will use a lot less energy for the same result," he concluded.
