All utility Bill's to be suspended for 3 months & free transport for key workers
Legislation to be passed to ease the burden on all households for three months to address the difficulties faced by all families as a result of Covid-19 by removing all utility costs. Broadband, electricity, gas & water
People are going through extreme hardship. The banks have been asked to play their part. All utility companies should also help play their part in helping society during this difficult period. Also no dividends to shate holders in these industries should be paid. The utilities sector has got off without making any contribution to benefit society.
