When are they going to realise that this 'Bedroom Tax' just isn't ever going to work? They don't have and never will have enough smaller houses to downsize everyone that needs it, leaving all these people in rent arrears that are only going to keep building up is just ridiculous. Quote:

I would say a repeal is on the cards, for those on a fixed income like benefits it proves that they are not as some think raking it in.
As well as the extra bedroom tax this year there is also the £125 fixed contribution to council tax to find also, I would think this too has been impossible to budget for for some. This must be most unwelcome for those local councils in deprived areas as they have in effect been cut adrift with these changes, services will begin to be affected as the reduction of support from central government will take it's toll. I really am at a loss to understand why they didn't envisage this happening? What is being offered as a solution, cardboard city?...

It is going to get worse and this is before the eviction processes get going too so a lot more negative publicity to come on this issue.
A ridiculous policy that I still feel will contribute negatively to the chances of this Govt. getting in again. Last edited by joeysteele; 19-09-2013 at 10:28 AM. |

I can see that under occupancy, when some people are living in overcrowded conditions, does need looking at. But bloody hell... what a ridiculous way to go about it. You can't ask people to downsize when there are no smaller properties available. You don't have to be a genius to see that, so why are these people with their expensive educations not able to grasp it?
Since they came to power the Tories have lurched from one crisis to the next, making ridiculous decision after ridiculour decision. Even their own supporters are turning against them. There was a not-so-secret meeting a few weeks ago (that Cabinet members were politely requested not to attend), where the possibility of ousting Cameron was discussed. They need to get rid of him, and Osborne, and everyone else who has not the first *******ing clue what real life is like. They have a year and a half to the next General Election. If they're going to stand any chance at all of doing well then they need a complete reversal of 80% of things they've implemented since they took over. It's got harder and harder to try to justify, professionally, the decisions they make. Thank God I don't have to do it for much longer. |

The housing association that operates in my area have been reassigning rooms in some of their houses Basically small second bedrooms have been altered to utility rooms, plumbed in for washing machines and stuff.

this tax will be scrapped along with the single benefit payment scheme.
the world encourages debt by handing out credit cards to people that can afford to pay them. |

I wonder how much is down to the tenants now receiving the money to pay their rents instead of it going directly to the landlords.

I am surprised the amount of people in arrears is so low tbh. You can't magic money from nowhere lie people are expected to do. Especially when they CANT downsize as the smaller places arent there
