Jon Trickett A strong Yorkshire voice for Hemsworth constituency
Free TV licences are an important tool in the battle against loneliness and social isolation. Four in 10 older people say the television is their main source of company.
In the 2017 Conservative Party manifesto, the Government pledged to keep free TV licenses for over 75s until the end of this parliament in 2022, but now they have gone back on their word and plan to scrap them.
For a Government that claims to have the interests of elderly people at the forefront, they are increasingly leaving them by the wayside.
Let’s make this uncaring Conservative Government think again. If you live in Hemsworth constituency, sign our petition to protect free tv licences for over 75s by filling in your details below.
