New analysis by fuel poverty charity National Energy Action (NEA) reveals Stoke-on-Trent has the greatest proportion of households living in fuel poverty at 24.7%, replacing Birmingham in the top spot.

Fuel poverty charity National Energy Action says that despite the price cap falling £238 a year for typical households from April, 2.3 million households are on average paying more than at the height of the crisis because of energy debt.
