One in eight people in Bristol are missing meals or not eating food because they can’t afford it and more than half of all the people in Bristol have cut back on the amount of hot water, heating or electricity they are using in their homes, according to data from a huge survey of the cost of living crisis.
And more than half the people living in the east of Bristol have cut back on the amount they are spending on food, the survey by polling data company Opinium revealed.
The survey, which polled five times more people across the country than usual opinion polls, revealed the extent of the impact of the cost-of-living crisis, with pay packets in Bristol set to be worth around £1,200 a year less this year in real terms, than in 2021.
