Rejected petition Stop social housing rents going up to market rents for people earning over 30k.

As announced in the last budget, George Osbourne has said people earning over 40k in London and over 30k everywhere else will be eligible to pay market rent in social housing. . It has also been stated that we are well off. 30k after tax is not a lot at all, especially when you have a family.
