David Taylor MP welcomes £117 energy bill cut for Hemel Hempstead
From April, residents across Hemel Hempstead and the villages will see a seven per cent drop in their monthly energy bills—saving the average local household £10.30 each month.
This reduction follows the £150 cut promised in last year’s Autumn Budget, which has been fully funded by ensuring the broadest shoulders pay their fair share of taxes.
Today’s announcement is a vital step in tackling the cost-of-living crisis. The Government has also expanded the Warm Homes Discount, meaning an estimated 7,200 households in our constituency are now entitled to an additional £150 off their bills this winter.
Under Labour’s Warm Homes Plan, we aim to lift a million households out of fuel poverty by 2030 through significant upgrades to insulation, boilers, and heating systems.
David Taylor, Labour MP for Hemel Hempstead, said: “I know that the cost of living is still too high for many families across Hemel, and I remember the worry we all felt when costs skyrocketed in 2022. That’s why I’m delighted that our Labour government has taken real action to bring energy bills down and put money back into the pockets of local residents.”
