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.
Sessions are run by Oxfordshire County Council’s trading standards team. Full addresses and time slots are provided when you book your appointment at one of the following locations:
October 2025
You can book your free electric blanket test today to stay safe and warm this winter on the Oxfordshire County Council website, by calling 01865 519 800 (and selecting option 4), or by emailing[email protected].
We will be delighted to serve you with tea, coffee, ice creams, chocolate, sweets and crisps from 10:30-3:30 every Wednesday, Friday and Sundayuntil the end of August, weather permitting.
Please support this Parish Council community venture, and enjoy the summer holidays!
