She said:"There are 92 homes on site which is for over-55s or semi-retired people but many of those here are in their 70s. Wrekin MP Mark Pritchard said:"I am pleased the Government has set aside extra funding for energy bill support for households which do not have a direct relationship with an energy supplier, such as Shropshire's park home residents.
The vast majority, including many homes in rural areas, will get it automatically through their electricity supplier as a credit on their bill throughout February.
