As the cold, dark days of autumn and winter draw in, Britons’ concerns over the rising cost of energy, fuel, food, and other goods are at an all-time high. While the government has announced a package of support to limit how much households will pay per unit of gas and electricity from October, many are fearful of getting overwhelmed by soaring costs.
A recent poll of more than 2,000 UK adults found that nearly one in four people plan never to turn on their heating this winter in a bid to save money. In addition, 69 per cent of those surveyed said they would switch on the heating less, while 11 per cent said they would take out a loan to help pay for their bills.
