Review the gas, water and electric charges for students studying in the U.K
It is essential for the government to review the amount of money that the gas, water and electrical companies are charging students in the U.K.
All gas, water and electrical companies are making substantial profits each year, and the majority of students struggle to cover their ridiculous charges

You can't sign this petition because it was rejected. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
These charges are the responsibility of utility companies, not the Government or Parliament.
You could start a new petition calling on the Government to offer financial support to students to help them pay their bills.
