Free electric blanket testing in Oxfordshire
With autumn and winter approaching, now is the perfect time to make sure you’re ready for the colder nights ahead. Oxfordshire County Council is reminding residents about free electric blanket testing happening across the county later this month.
Last year, over 30% of blankets tested by the Council did not pass the safety check — so it’s really important to have yours tested before winter.
