This petition was submitted during the 2010-2015 parliament
Rejected petition The Bedroom tax will fragment communities and hit those least able to cope the most.
More details
The bedroom tax will destroy communities. Families will be forced to move away from friends, support and schools. Making vulnerable people and families even more vulnerable. It will make poor families and people even poorer than they are now, forcing them into debt, possibly having to rely on extortionate loans. To promote work is an entirely good thing, but there must be jobs available. The whole tax will be detrimental to the health, mental health and well being. By demoralising and demotivating it may have an adverse effect on the ability of people to find work.
