THE government must take urgent action to help councils tackle fuel poverty as the cost-of-living crisis deepens, campaigners demanded today.
The End Fuel Poverty Coalition called for the introduction of a windfall tax on fossil fuel firms’ profits and legislation to prevent energy firms from charging more than the lowest tariff for those on prepayment meters.
It has also put forward an action plan to help local authorities tackle fuel poverty ahead of May’s local elections.
