  • Pay residents in residential homes the £400 payment as well as cost of living payments
    To whom this may concern I am writing this because I feel that people in residential homes are being treated unfairly and should be paid the £400 payment as well as cost of living payments. It is important to help people in residential homes because some cannot speak for themselves so we must do what we can to help them.

  • Stop ripping off renters with illegal fees
    Like many people living in London, I've had to change my plans and delay life decisions in response to the obscene prices in the capital’s rental market. I’m so outraged by how much letting agents are charging, one of my tweets about it became a story in the Times. [1] But for one chain of estate agents, apparently even excessive rents are not enough. After looking at some of Foxtons’ adverts, I noticed that just to rub salt in the wound, they are also charging some tenants fees of £250 per person that were supposed to have been banned three years ago. [2] In 2019 the Tenant Fees Act banned landlords and letting agents from charging almost all fees to private renters. The only permitted payments are rent, refundable deposits and fees incurred due to the tenant’s actions, such as losing keys, paying rent late, or ending the tenancy early. Foxtons claims that it charges the £250 fee when the tenancy is a “short let”. [3] On 14 November, Foxtons was advertising 614 of these in London. However, unless short lets are specifically for holidays, they are classed as assured shorthold tenancies in the Housing Act 1988 (Schedule 1, section 9) and are therefore subject to the letting fees ban. [4] Foxtons describes short lets on its website as "from a few weeks to a few months". [5] By claiming they are not assured shorthold tenancies, the company is abusing the Tenant Fees Act – legislation renters fought hard to secure. Foxtons are profiteering from these illegal fees. And by keeping homes in the short term market and out of the longer term market, there are fewer homes for the people who need them most, and higher rents on the homes that do become available. Foxtons needs to stop ripping off renters and be clear that these illegal fees are unacceptable and will not be charged.

  • Pay £400 energy payments to Northern Ireland households as soon as possible
    National Energy Action (NEA) NI research is showing that 80% of households here have already cut down on their central heating, and most worryingly more than 1 in 10 households have had to forego meals to meet the rising energy costs. NI householders have received significantly less help in the energy crisis than those in England Scotland and Wales. They did not benefit from the £150 council tax rebate and nor do they benefit from Household Support Fund. Furthermore, NI homes are not part of the Warm Homes discount scheme meaning vulnerable households miss out on an additional £150 every winter. There is a clear need to ensure the £400 per household support reaches people in Northern Ireland ahead of this winter, to protect vulnerable households form the worst impacts of living in a cold home, including needless deaths and morbidity along with increased pressure on our healthcare services in the months ahead. We ask that you approach this issue with the urgency it requires and commit to ensuring the emergency payments are allocated to households as soon as possible.

  • Energy Expropriation?
    Following the extortionate increases in energy costs, it is clear that those who took government advice and invested in solar/wind power, to assist in the transition to ‘green’ energy are being forced into losses by a disproportionate difference in the unit charge for energy by energy company and homeowner. Having been told my solar would “pay for itself” it is clear that it will not. The increases made by energy companies has not been seen as a comparable increase for homeowners. As governments and energy companies around the World profess to be interested in reducing carbon and waste of energy, it would seem only right that those ‘investing’ in the efforts to improve the Planet should be suitably and effectively recompensed for their involvement. Fairness and a willingness to assure a like for like remittance for each and every unit of energy, transferred to ‘the grid’, should be automatically due. It is imperative that society can feel protected, and supported in their efforts to contribute to the future of our environment. Any suggestion of malpractice or discrimination can only serve to undermine government efforts to provide a better climate, for us all.
