Abolish the Standing Charges for meters.

Rejected 9 signatures

What the petition asks

Stop Gas, Electricity and water businesses from charging it's costomers to have meters.

With the cost of both Gas & Electricity about to rise by an average of 50%, we, the people, demand that Government force Gas, Electricity aswell as Water businesses in the UK to abolish the Standing Charges for both meters.

With the country on it's knees and trying to rise again from a pandemic, we, the people feel this is a 'kick in the teeth' to ALL domestic & business costomers.

We, the nation need help from our Government to ease the burden of rising costs and feel this'll be a good start

Why it was rejected
