More than 640 over 75s in the resort are enjoying the benefits of a free TV Licence, according to figures published by TV Licensing.

TV Licensing is reminding anyone aged 75 or over they are eligible for a free TV Licence for their main address as part of a month-long awareness campaign launched recently.

The concession applies to anyone 75 or over, regardless of income, or anyone living with someone aged 75 or over.

Although the concession is free, it must be applied for in order for the address to be correctly licensed.

To apply, call 0300 790 6154 or visit tvlicensing.co.uk/over75info
