STUDENTS heading home to East Lancashire for their summer holidays from halls of residence or rented flats could be entitled to a refund of £37 on their TV licence.

Many students moving back to their parents’ home will no longer need their own TV licence over the holidays.

If there are three full calendar months before their college-time licence expires and the home they are moving to for the holidays is licensed, students are entitled to a refund for the unused quarter.

Jenny Wilkinson, TV Licensing spokesperson, said: “It’s great news for students who bought a TV licence last September or October to know they can claim some cash.”
