3.1 Daniel Harris Question:
“Last week I was notified from one resident who is living in emergency / temporary accommodation that they are having to top up their electricity using cards, and these are costing £10 per day. Can the council please outline the current rules around how electricity and energy should be handled by private subcontractors for emergency and temporary accommodation? for example a few years back I had proof one provider was manipulating the rate 1 and rate 2 rates, charging 25% more than they were buying the electricity. which is illegal.”
