An angry Leeds man has raged about how he’s paying '£10 a day' for the electricity in his council flat, despite only 'cooking once a week' and eating mostly bread and butter to save on energy.
Unemployed Mamadu Djalo, 63, is struggling with money, having only recently applied for Universal Credit. On top of that he’s saddled with a pre-payment meter devouring his credit at an alarming rate where he's paying "£50 every five days" – even though he takes extreme precautions to limit the power.
He’s been at his wit's end, trying to figure out why the leccy bill is so high in his flat in Seacroft. Mamadu moved to Leeds City Council high rise Seacroft Gate, in Eastdown Grange, with his 17-year-old son last month.
