Sajid Javid MP has welcomed the plans from the Conservative Government which will mean over 28,000 households across the district are set to be supported with a £150 non-repayable cash rebate.
This is just part of the support put in place, with plans worth up to £350 per household in total, as part of the £9.1 billion package of government support to help with rising energy bills.
As the UK economy continues its recovery from the pandemic, the Conservative government are confronting the global inflationary pressures caused by the world economy coming swiftly back to life.
Commenting, Sajid said:
“Global pressures have led to households across Bromsgrove District feeling a squeeze on their household costs, so it is right that the Government have come forward with this support.
“These measures will help over 28,000 households across Bromsgrove with council tax bills, as well as a £200 rebate on energy bills for all households, on top of pre-existing measures to support families, such as the Warm Home Discount scheme.
“This will deliver support to more people and a faster pace – giving families the support they need now
Chancellor of the Exchequer, Rishi Sunak, said:
“Right now, I know the number one issue on people’s minds is the rising cost of living.
“That’s why the Government is stepping in with direct support that will help around 28 million households with their rising energy costs over the next year.
“We stood behind British people and businesses throughout the pandemic and it’s right we continue to do that as our economy recovers in the months ahead.”
