MP Organises Public Meeting re Bedroom Tax and Tells the Government ‘Enough is Enough’
Sandra Osborne MP is organising a public meeting so that local people can find out more about the Government’s welfare changes, including the Bedroom Tax.
Sandra said
‘Many of the changes being introduced by the Government as part of their welfare reform programme will cause severe hardship to many of my constituents. The bedroom tax, for example, will financially penalise thousands of local people who are already struggling financially.
‘What the Government is doing is a scandal. I, along with my Labour colleagues, have opposed these measures in Parliament every step of the way and will continue to do so. Over the last few weeks, I have raised my opposition to this several times on the Floor of the Commons.
‘I have had constituents come to my local surgeries who are in tears over the bedroom tax and what this means for them. They are struggling financially and cannot afford the cost.
‘I am organising a meeting on 15 March in Ayr for my constituents to learn more about the implications of the Government’s plans and how they will be affected. I am inviting representatives of the local authority, trade unions and advice centres. I want to use this meeting to coordinate a local campaign to oppose these unfair Government changes. It’s time to tell the Government ‘enough is enough’. If any of my constituents would like to come to this meeting, please let me know by telephoning 01292 262906 or emailing me, [email protected].’
