MP urges U-turn on 'bedroom tax'
A CITY MP has called on the Government to backtrack over its controversial "bedroom tax" plans.
Thousands of low-income families across Notts will be forced to pay more rent or move out of their homes when it is introduced on April 1.

Under the plans, according the National Housing Federation, 10,914 people in the East Midlands will lose an average of £512 a year in Housing Benefit if they have one "spare" bedroom in their council or housing association home and £916 a year if they have two or more.

“The hypocritical Labour council in Nottingham should look at themselves first especially Lilian Greenwood. This Council has demolished homes, plans to demolish homes and has sold massive amounts of properties to private equity firms within the last 6 years. Where has that money gone Messrs Collins, Chapman and Greenwood? Oh and you plan to build 500 homes by 2026, you've demolished 2000. The income from those properties you could lower the rents to offset the "Bedroom tax". Also City Homes aka Chapman and Collins wrecking crew have so many hidden charges in their rent at least 2 are fraudelent and that is a fact ( Landlords charging tennants for Aerial upgrades after the digital changeover is illegal £2.00pwk in the rent of tower blocks”
