My local council are considering something similar, along with stopping funding for food banks and saying their budget won’t stretch to funding ‘warm banks’ while at the same time spending £250,000 on art for its offices. Spending £22,000 on a painting of a tree done by a councillors wife! Time for people to start showing politicians who they work for.

Sort of, he's either in some old block that has underfloor heating or in a tower with a massive boiler. I've never lived in a block with underfloor heating but IIRC there always used to be complaints about not being able to switch it off, control when it comes on etc. You get billed even if you don't want to use it etc, that's why it's a service charge. By law, service charges in council accommodation can only go up to recover costs that seem reasonable. So yes, in the current circumstances that is considered a reasonable increase. It's clearly not enough though if the usage is having to be restricted in this way.

No sympathy, country voted Brexit which has caused a massive downward move in the value of the pound. Gas is priced in Euros and Dollars so what we the consumer pays is dependent on the strength of the pound. If the UK announced tomorrow morning 9am their intention to rejoin the SM the value of Sterling would pop 20-30% by 5pm bringing down gas, fuel, imports and inflation by 20-30% overnight. Yet nobody talks about it and they still persist with the road to poverty. In addition too many people vilified Blair and Brown, too many people persisted with the unelectable Corbyn and too many of you said “I’d rather have a true blue than a red Tory” so I have no sympathy, we are where we are cos of deluded attitudes on both the left and the right.

Thanks for the video. I understand what the people in that city is going through, because I lived in the Philippines for more than 10 years in the 80's. The situation there is probably still the same as today. I must also mentioned that we lived in a relatively well off part of Makati City. Sometimes we had water and sometimes we had electricity. It all depended on the supplier and their ability to keep the infrastructure going, financially or technically. So we always had water tanks in each bathroom just in case the main water supply was turned off when we were taking a shower or for any other reason. This is just one solution for overcoming the problem. I'm sure there are a lot more. Just need to be creative and do some research. Good luck to all of you.

I use have a private landlord who controlled when the heating came on in a shared house. I once asked him where the timer was located and he thought I was stupid enough for him to show me the thermostat. Anyway, turns out the boxed the boiler in and secured the box with a lock and neither of the tenants had access to it. I threatened to report him to the council but the only thing he did was change the timings and then a couple of months later he went to court to evict me.

Something does not add up here: WHY is a communal heat and hot water system running on a combi boiler?!? That in itself is deeply inefficient. Combi boilers are for small individual installations. It should be a system boiler with an indirect unvented hot water cylinder. Hot water from a hot water cylinder will then be available at all times, regardless as to if the boiler is running or not, assuming the boiler runs sufficiently within any 24 hour period. Heating I can understand switching off out of hours, but hot water is madness.

I've never heard of a council controlling the water supply into a property.

The government and its pets in the media have had ample time to lay the groundwork for this, either by warning people properly or dealing with the cost of living crisis in a sensible manner (preferably both), but instead they've fumbled about with VAT, national insurance, bankers' bonuses and so on while moaning about trade unions and The Wokerati™. Now we're in a situation where peoples' energy supplies will be limited and there will likely be National Grid blackouts over the next few months... and _people haven't been bloody told about it!!!_ This government is not fit to lead a conga line.
