Freeze all household bills during the Covid-19 crisis time.
Please put a hold on GAS, ELECTRICITY, RENT, COUNCIL TAX and MORTGAGES and let people stand a chance of feeding their families and not adding to the already intense stress and mental health that people are suffering during this unprecedented time with the Coronavirus Crisis.
To stay home, we are all out a huge additional amount of money on Gas, Heating, Electricity & feeding a full household (all day) which has dramatically increased. There are many vulnerable families, prioritising between heating their home &feeding their children. There are MANY reason why we can’t afford to live within a lockdown. Please put a hold on household bills and let people stand a chance of feeding their families and help reduce this horrific impact on stress and mental health.
