People have been waiting days and sometimes even weeks to get deliveries as Liquid Natural Gas (LPG) has run short.
Scottish Gas owner Centrica was accused of making workers pay for a failed business strategy with their jobs after the energy giant revealed plans to axe a further 4,000 roles.
Centrica said a majority of these latest cuts would affect both its UK home and business units over the next three years as it looks to meet a higher cost-cutting target of £1.25billion per year by 2020.
The company’s UK workforce was slashed by 2,100 roles on a like-for-like basis during 2017, taking the total number of job cuts to 5,500 since the start of 2016.
