Freeze rent/bills during crisis for the unemployed and those facing redundancies
I want the Government to freeze rents and bill payments as there are many people who are currently living in the united kingdom who are facing redundancy due to Covid-19. We need to ensure the basic human needs which is safety and security.
I want the Government to support the people who are residing in the United Kingdom, by freezing rent & bill payments. As with the current Covid-19 it may potentially lead to redundancies which in turn can leave our people without money for rent, bills and food to eat. I believe the Government should support the people as this could in turn lead to more unnecessary homelessness. With businesses already closing, we need to ensure we have the most basic of human rights which is a shelter.
