District heating payments

Over half a million homes receive their heating and hot water from district heating, supplied by local councils. This type of heating bypasses the government energy cap, thus payments have risen by 300% with no support from the government. The government were going to offer recipients of this heating a paltry £100 but backtracked on this. We need help now

Why is this important?

Many people are getting help with normal heating bills but we, on district heating are getting nothing. We cannot afford a 300% rise and it will cause health and financial problems to the most vulnerable
