PRE-BUDGET REPORT GOOD NEWS FOR PENSIONERS IN CONSTITUENCY, SAYS HELEN
Helen today welcomed the Pre-Budget Report unveiled by the Chancellor of the Exchequer as “good news for pensioners and young people in Bishop Auckland constituency”.
“The announcement of free installation of central heating for pensioners on pension credit and £300 discount for all other pensioners will help tackle fuel poverty in Bishop Auckland, she added. “In addition, confirmation that the Winter Fuel Allowance, worth £200 for pensioner households with someone over 60 (£300 for over 80s), will continue for the rest of this Parliament is great news for our 17,500 pensioners.
“The resources for a young people’s fund – worth about £500,000 over the next two years, for each local authority – will help strengthen our local communities with more activities for our young people, decided by our young people.”
