Warning that households face rises in council tax, dentist, prescriptions, broadband and water rates - and many others
April 1 has been branded ‘April cruel’s day’ this year because of the incredible rises in prices across so many areas. People who are already struggling with huge power bills and being able to afford food are being hit with increases in areas including prescriptions, water bills, broadband, council and flight tax.
Household finances app Nous.co has calculated that a typical family will be £682.70 a year worse off as a result of the increases. Nous.co founder and chief executive, Greg Marsh, said: “These are worrying times, and this could push millions of families who are just about managing over the edge. As more people rely on digital communication channels, the volume of mail being sent has decreased, especially since the coronavirus pandemic. This has resulted in a decrease in revenue for Royal Mail, with the cost of stamps being increased to compensate.
This will be the first increase since the charge was frozen in 2022. This was the first time the fee had been frozen in over a decade, in response to the cost of living crisis. Prepayment certificates will also increase to £31.25 for three months, up from £30.25. Looking at the reduced rate for Band B , the price will be £87. That figure has gradually increased over the last few years and is an increase of 19% since 2016/17 when it was £73.
