If you live in the north of the city, best to keep your windows shut for now
City of Lincoln Council’s leadership is considering providing warm or cool spaces to tackle extreme weather conditions like the recent heatwave.
He warned that it could get even worse should the winter provide extreme colder weather, combined with the ongoing cost of living crisis. He suggested the authority could look to open up community centres, sports halls, even City Hall, to give the poorest members of the population a place to go for at least a couple of hours a day for a cup of tea and to warm up.
However, he warned the council itself was also under extreme pressure, adding “We’ve got our own leccy bill to pay… but there is a role for councils to provide warm spaces”.
