Edinburgh West speaks up on Cost of Living

Christine has launched a Cost of Living survey to which over 700 households have already responded.

The Lib Dem MP is contacting residents to find out how the crisis is affecting them and what action they want to see from their politicians.

She said: “We mustn’t lose sight of the impact that this is having on real people who are finding the cost of everything from their shopping to energy bills or simply keeping a roof over their families heads getting more difficult by the day.

“This is not just about money markets or the value of the pound; it has a real and direct impact on the lives of families, pensioners and businesses and I want to know what you want your politicians to do about it.

“From the results so far, it is clear that people in Edinburgh West feel that the UK Government is simply not doing enough to ease the burden people are increasingly facing."
