Antrim and Newtownabbey Council’s Oil Stamp Saving Scheme can, however, help residents budget for their heating oil by purchasing £5 oil stamps. The stamps are then placed on a savings card for you to use as payment or part payment for oil at any of the participating oil companies.

Wendy Brolly,the Council’s Environmental Health Manager, said: “Buying heating oil in small quantities costs householders more per litre compared to larger quantities of oil. The scheme is a great way of budgeting and spreading the cost of oil throughout the year, as well as helping householders get a better price for purchasing more.”
