Ask Hackney and Tower Hamlets' MPs to take action for warm homes

Diane Abbott MP, Meg Hillier MP, Apsana Begum MP, Rushanara Ali MP

People demanding warm homes for their community to the backdrop of the Houses of Parliament

Millions of people are struggling with soaring bills and the rising cost of living. Even with the government's price freeze, the average energy bill has almost doubled in 12 months, and the Energy Price Guarantee is set to rise to £3,000 when the support scheme stops.

Here in Hackney and Tower Hamlets, over 25,000 households live in fuel poverty. People are left with the impossible choice of staying warm or putting food on the table. We need our government to do more, and your MP can help make that happen. The energy crisis of this winter has shown us more than ever that relying on polluting energy giants who prioritise profit over the planet can't continue.

We're calling for:

Urgent support for people dealing with sky-high energy bills. Far more help is needed – through price guarantees, targeted extra payments and fair energy pricing.
A new emergency programme to insulate our heat-leaking homes. Upgrading our homes with insulation is the cheapest and easiest way to permanently reduce our bills and cut emissions.
An energy system powered by cheap, green renewables. To end the need for expensive and polluting gas in the long term, we must move to a homegrown, renewable energy system.

Can you take a minute to call on your MP to take action for warm homes?

The energy crisis of this winter has seen millions of people across the UK and households in our community struggling to keep themselves warm, while polluting energy companies make record profits. The Government's support scheme hasn't gone far enough to support people who are struggling, and without action focused on long-term change, there's the danger that people will continue to struggle for future winters to come.

That's why I'm writing to you as my MP to urge you to call for:

- Urgent support for people dealing with sky-high energy bills
- A new emergency programme to insulate our homes
- An energy system powered by cheap, green renewables

For too long, the Government has neglected to repair the UK's cold, leaky homes. As my elected representative, I hope that you'll use your voice to support your constituents who want the right to safe, warm housing that doesn't cost the earth.
