West Berkshire and Wokingham Trading Standards Service Host Free Electric Blanket Testing

West Berkshire and Wokingham Trading Standards Service have teamed up with the Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service to hold free electric blanket testing events in Wokingham and Newbury.

Previous events found over 50% of the electric blankets checked had faults which either needed repair or made them a safety risk and unsuitable for further use.

Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service will also be offering free fire safety advice at the events and the opportunity to book a free home fire safety check to residents whose homes qualify.
