<p>The Cold Weather Payment (CWP) scheme is administered at weather station level
rather than at a constituency or regional level etc. The coverage area for each weather
station is determined by the Met Office, which assesses the most appropriate weather
station for each postcode area. Cold weather payments are triggered when the average
temperature recorded at the weather station has been recorded as, or is forecast to
be, 0<strong>°</strong> C or below over seven consecutive days, during the Cold Weather
season (November to March).</p><p> </p><p>a) The area of South Holland covers all
or part of the following postcode areas: PE11, PE12, PE10, PE6, PE13, PE14, PE34.</p><p>
