A charity has warned Greater Manchester residents are ‘beyond breaking point’ as the cost of living crisis worsens.
The number of people seeking support to manage their energy bill debts with Citizens Advice SORT (Stockport, Oldham, Rochdale and Trafford ) has massively increased over the last 12 months, going up by 48pc.
The charity is now warning that without further government action, Greater Manchester families face falling into ‘severe hardship’ from shouldering huge energy price hikes expected later this year.
