State Pension petition calling for £380 weekly payments signed by people from every council area in UK

A petition calling on the UK Government to increase State Pension payments to match the new National Living Wage rate has been signed by more than 35,300 supporters across every council area in Scotland, England, Wales and Northern Ireland.

An interactive map, hosted on the petition-parliament website, shows a colour-coded map of the UK with the number of signatures of support by council area.

From the top of Scotland in Orkney and Shetland down to St.Ives in Cornwall and across to Northern Ireland via Wales, thousands of people have shown their digital support in asking the UK Government to increase State Pension payments to £19,760 per year, the equivalent to £380 each week.
