Rejected petition Essential services (gas, electricity and water) should be provided by not-for-profit organisations

More details

The fact that companies can make huge profits by providing services that are essential for life is wrong. People should not have to worry about being able to afford keeping warm in winter. With gas we regularly see wholesale prices go up which is reflected in the end user price, but when the price goes down the end user price remains untouched.

I propose a move to not-for-profit or publically owned utilities.
