Introduce a TV License Discount for Full Time Students
This petition calls on the government to take advantage of the TV license freeze ending in March 2017 to introduce a reduced rate TV license for full time students living in single occupancy rooms. By introducing a reduced rate, more students would consider buying a license.
Unlike a typical home where only one license is needed, students staying in halls of residence are required to purchase an individual license for their room. For example, if a hall has 8 rooms on it, each student is currently required to purchase their own license for just one room at full cost. This is a large amount of money and it is unfair to charge students so much more despite them being on limited budgets. By introducing a reduced rate for single rooms, more students would pay the fee.
You can't sign this petition because it is now closed. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
