ENERGY bills in an area of Scotland are among the highest in the UK, new research has revealed.

It comes just weeks after it was announced that almost one million elderly Scots had lost access to the winter fuel payments.

SNP chiefs followed suit with the UK Government and announced the heating benefit would be means-tested.

An attempt to block the cuts failed as MPs voted to restrict the cash to just the poorest pensioners.

The energy experts at Utility Bidder have carried out research to reveal the UK regions with the highest annual energy bills.

The study also reveals those with the costliest energy unit prices, the regions with the most expensive fixed costs and those which have seen the biggest increase in energy costs between 2019-2023.

And south Scotland has been named the second-highest average annual electricity bills in the UK at £1,311.

As well as having one of the highest electricity bills, people living in south Scotland have the highest annual gas bills, with residents paying around £1,245.

When considering both factors, the combined total for energy bills in the region is more than £2,500.

North Scotland sits fifth overall in the list with an annual average electricity bill of £1,288.

Merseyside and North Wales was named the UK region with the highest annual electricity bills.

People living in the region are paying £1,353 on average for electricity which is £95 more than those living in the East Midlands who are paying the lowest amount for electricity in the UK.

James Longley, managing director at Utility Bidder has commented on whether Brits should stick with the price cap rate and when is the best time to fix your energy: “Energy bills continue to headline UK news all year round, especially in Autumn 2024 as we head towards colder months and a new price cap rate from October.

“These constant fluctuations in energy rates unsurprisingly leave many UK residents in a spin when it comes to the best way forward to get the cheapest energy bills – and at Utility Bidder, we want to make that process as hassle-free as possible.

“So, should you stick with the price cap rate, and when is the best time to fix your energy?

“In 2024, more than 90% of UK homes pay the standard tariff and the full price cap. Fixed rates, however, help give customers peace of mind and provide lots of choice in terms of start and end dates; this is coupled with exit fees and the lost benefit of falling energy prices when you are already under contract.

“Of the major energy companies offering fixed rate deals as of September 2024, all offer fixed deals to existing customers, with a large majority offering incentives to new customers as well – though some prove more complicated than others.

“It would be recommended that you look into and compare comparison sites to find the best deals for fixing your energy, and this should be only considered if you are locking in the cheapest rate.

“Whatever your next cause of action, electricity and gas users should try, where possible, to limit their usage during peak hours of the day. Using any utilities throughout the night will prove cheaper, and you can set timers for appliances such as dishwashers.

“Other lifestyle changes which you will reap the benefits of include minimal tweaks such as switching your appliances off when you’re not using them, rather than leaving them on standby, or more long-term solutions include removing your gas boiler or installing solar panels.”

A DESPERATE search has been launched for a much-loved Channel 4 star, 50, who mysteriously vanished.

Katherine Watson was last seen in the Heaton Road area of Newcastle at around 1pm on Thursday September 19.

A spokesperson for Northumbria Police said: “The 50-year-old was last seen in the Heaton Road area at around 1pm today, and we’re growing increasingly concerned for her welfare.

“Searches are ongoing to locate Katherine, who is described as a white woman, around 5ft 6ins in height, of slim build, with short light grey hair.

“Katherine was last seen wearing a green hat, a back pack, with dark trousers and a dark hooded top.

“She has a number of tattoos on her arms, as well as a military tattoo on her chest.

“She has links to the Heaton and Jesmond areas of Newcastle – but could have travelled further afield.

“Any info? Please get in touch by sending us a direct message, using the live chat function or report forms on our website, or by calling 101 quoting reference: NP-20240919-0717.”

NETFLIX has revealed a terrifying new trailer for the upcoming second series of Squid Game after it first premiered three years ago. 

Since its release, Netflix viewers have been left wanting more and they’re finally going to get it as Gi-hun (Lee Jung-jae) re-enters the game.

Mirroring real life, the second series of Squid Game takes place three years after the first. It follows Gi-Hun as he “remains determined to find the people behind the game and put an end to their vicious sport.”

But his mission stalls as he realises the only way he can end Squid Game for good is by re-entering it.

The new trailer teases this as viewers initially see Gi-hun free before a masked figure shows up. 

Gi-hun tries to resist, pointing a gun at the mysterious agent, but moments later the trailer cuts to him back in the game with the show’s eerie music playing over.

Lee Jung-jae returns as Seong Gi-hun, Player 456. He is joined by Lee Byung-hun as Front Man, the Squid Game’s overseer, Wi Ha-Joon as Hwang Jun-ho and Gong Yoo as the salesman and Squid Game recruiter. 

Premiering on Netflix on December 26, Squid Game 2 will continue on from the events of series one. 

After winning the games, Gi-hun chose not to return to his family but to try to end the game once and for all. 

Meanwhile, the fate of Jun-ho still hangs in the balance after he was shot by Front Man, who turned out to be his brother. 

Once back in the game, Gi-hun will meet a new group of competitors played by Yim Si-wan, Kang Ha-neul, Park Sung-hoon, Yang Dong-geun, Park Gyu-young, Jo Yu-ri, Kang Ae-sim, Lee David, Lee Jin-uk, Choi Seung-hyun, Roh Jae-won and Won Ji-an. 

The highly anticipated series captivated fans across the globe and became the site’s biggest ever show in an unexpected move of success.

“It took 12 years to bring the first season of Squid Game to life last year. But it took 12 days for Squid Game to become the most popular Netflix series ever,” showrunner Hwang Dong-hyuk teased in a letter to the program’s fans.

The Korean drama was watched by 111 million users in its first 28 days, knocking Bridgerton (82 million) off the top spot.

The creator promises to bring the same level of thrilling drama to Squid Game 2, despite previously confirming that Gi-Hun would be a very different character in the second series.

Speaking about this change in an interview with Radio Times, Lee admitted: “I think the script for season 2 is even more interesting than season 1, and there is going to be a new set of characters as well.

“So I think the audience is going to be really excited about it.

“One thing I felt while reading the script is that there is an even deeper emotion that’s discovered within season 2, and also I think the audience will feel like, ‘Where is this story going?’

“Because there’s so many twists and turns that happen,” he teased.

Officials want to build a “world-class football destination and home” for Man Utd fans.

They also wish to incorporate a wider plan comprising mixed-use developments that will benefit the local community, attract new residents, increase job provision, and make it a vibrant destination for visitors both from the UK and across the world.

United have promised to remain engaged with fans, community members, local authorities and the Old Trafford Regeneration Task Force throughout the process.

The design of the actual stadium, which will sit at the heart of the area, will be completed when wider plans are determined.

Discussing the new partnership, Lord Foster, founder and executive chairman of Foster + Partners, said: “As a proud Mancunian, I am passionate about the chance to rebuild on Manchester’s great industrial heritage, creating a vibrant new mixed-use community, served by highly sustainable and improved transport links, providing homes and jobs for the local community, all catalysed by a world-class stadium for the world’s most famous football team – Manchester United.”

Lord Foster is already involved with the £50million refurbishment of Man Utd’s Carrington training complex.

Foster + Partners assisted with the development of Wembley Stadium in London, widely regarded as the home of English football.

The company also helped to develop the Lusail Stadium, which hosted the final of the 2022 Qatar World Cup.

New United co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe has been desperate to transform the club’s home into a “Wembley of the North” since taking over at the start of this year.

Collette Roche, the club’s chief operating officer, said: “We have a clear vision to transform and revitalise the club-owned land around Old Trafford and we know that Foster + Partners is the best partner to help us develop the plans.

“This is an area of Greater Manchester ready for major new investment so that it can thrive once more, and we are determined to help deliver those outcomes. 

“We want this area to become a true destination, that not only provides an unbeatable matchday experience for our fans, but also supports other forms of entertainment, leisure, business and residential facilities surrounding a world-class stadium.

“Lord Foster has unrivalled experience in delivering projects of this scale and ambition.”

The venue was where The Cure played their first gig in 1978, before the group went on to sell more than 30 million records.

And – 16 years after their 13th album 4:13 Dream – The Cure are back with Songs of a Lost Word.

The posted simply revealed the EPs name and release date, which is November 1.

Crawley is where the band was formed more than three decades ago.

Founding members Robert Smith, Michael Dempsey and Lol Tolhurst met at Notre Dame middle school in the West Sussex town.

Michael left the band in 1979 and Lol followed a year later.

The group is currently made up of Robert, Simon Gallup, Roger O’Donnell, Perry Bamonte, Jason Cooper and Reeves Gabrels.

Robert addressed the line-up changes during a TV interview in 2002.

He said: “In my own mind there have been five bands called The Cure that I’m in… The Cure has been an unusual band.

We will never shake the goth tag – I still have to field questions about being the godfather of goth.

“We cover a breadth of material but we’re pigeonholed despite that. I can live with it because I know that anyone who’s into the band knows there’s slightly more to it than doom and gloom.”

The Cure are known for hits including Lovesong and Lullaby.
