Along with 13 other charities, we've signed a letter calling for a single social tariff for water. Currently, water companies have their own schemes but this has led to a postcode lottery for low-income customers. Read more in @guardian today. theguardian.com/business/artā€¦

Ministers urged to end water ā€˜postcode lotteryā€™ with single social tariff

As temperatures soar across much of the country, it's important to remember that fuel poverty can be as much of an issue in summer as in winter. endfuelpoverty.org.uk/how-fuā€¦

How fuel poverty is still an issue during the summer

Within days of coming into power, the new Labour government announced that it had lifted the Tories' ā€˜absurdā€™ de facto ban on onshore wind in England. Will we really see a surge in onshore wind farms? And where will the hotspots be? šŸ§µ planningresource.co.uk/articā€¦

The new Government has inherited a broken energy system which has prioritised oil and gas company profits while millions of ordinary people have shivered in cold, damp, mouldy homes they canā€™t afford to heat. But there are options available to fix it. endfuelpoverty.org.uk/1071-9ā€¦

Ā£1,071.98: The energy price cap households could have had

Insulating homes, reducing standing charges and removing VAT from energy bills would have significantly reduced householdā€™s costs.

4 in 10 canā€™t afford to insulate homes & it will take 190 years to upgrade homes to decent standards at current rates. There's no route to people being warm each winter without bolder plans to help people have well insulated & ventilated homes. #ITVDebate endfuelpoverty.org.uk/publicā€¦
