Closed Give everyone on low incomes a free TV licence regardless of age.

Closed on

Those on low income cannot afford Netflix Sky or other pay to view channels and rely on the TV licence to access TV channels. They will become increasingly isolated if they do not have some interaction of media and often the tv prevents loneliness which is not just an affliction of the elderly .

It is important for everyone who is on a tight budget to be able to access some form of media whether to access news educational subject matter or to enhance quality of life. This is not just a reserve for the wealthy.
