The leader of Newport City Council will write to Prime Minister Boris Johnson, calling on him to address the national cost of living crisis.
The cost of living includes food, housing, utilities, clothing and healthcare expenses. Some Newport councillors are blaming the UK Government for the increasing trend of residents struggling to afford these basic needs.
Councillors are now calling on the UK Government to suspend the proposed National Insurance increase, reduce VAT for energy bills and introduce a new lower price cap on energy bills.
