With people across the country having noticed a sharp rise in their energy bills over the last few months, people in Nottingham have spoken of their concerns ahead of bills rising again in October. Many people have opened up and shared the stark realities of their financial situation - and some said their bills had tripled.
The current energy price cap in the UK stands at £1,971. It marked a £693 rise from the previous cap when this was increased in recent months. But Ofgem’s chief executive Jonathan Brearley said the cap was set to rise again, this time to £2,800 in October.
People in Nottingham, however, hope that something is done before that happens. The Government is expected to announce a fresh, multi-million-pound cost-of-living plan - with measures reported to potentially include increases in the warm homes discount, winter fuel allowance and a cut in council tax, while a VAT cut is said to be being mooted.
