Freeze all Council tax and all utility bill payments due to the Coronavirus .
Due to the effects of the Coronavirus, it will help if all Council tax and utility bill payments could be stopped to help everyone through this difficult time.
So that the general public do not have to worry as much about buying food and the essentials they need to get through this difficult period. Unfortunately statutory sick pay and in many cases no pay at all will leave most in a very difficult position.

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
Suspending payments for council tax, mortgages, utilities and loans is a matter for individual councils, mortgage providers, utility providers and lenders, and not the UK Government or Parliament.
If you want the Government to encourage lenders, landlords and utilities to freeze payments during lockdown, you may wish to sign this petition: petition.parliament.uk/petitions/302256
If you want the Government to implement Universal Basic Income to give home and food security during the coronavirus outbreak, you may also wish to sign this petition: petition.parliament.uk/petitions/302284
