Council tenants deserve better
Published Date:

MANY people will not be turning on their central heating this winter and the advice is then to heat one room and stay in that room; however if you are a council tenant and inherited a heating system that a previous tenant signed up for and one that you are legally obliged to continue when you accept the tenancy, you could be left with one small fan heater fire that is not only very expensive to use it is also inadequate on its own.
Could Leeds City Council release tenants from these contracts and perhaps put in the most basic gas fire? I am sure that this would be more cost-effective than having to rectify houses with numerous problems caused by damp due to no heating and might even save some lives.
