Soaring bills are having a big impact 😔
Residents in one of the poorest areas of Nottinghamshire have opened up on their financial struggles during a "tough winter". People living in Beechdale, a suburb located between Aspley and Wollaton, say soaring energy bills and high food prices are affecting them on a daily basis.
"I've been paying a lot more for everything, energy bills and food prices. Even the leisure centre is more expensive, I was going to get a membership, but I saw the price had gone up. I can't afford that."The 42-year-old added: "Some snacks we can't have. My daughter wants to go out every week but because of the prices we can't do that.
Mohsin Kamal, 21, who works at Kamal Store in Beechdale Road, said: "We've been doing alright but high prices have had an impact, we've had to put the prices up of items. Even if it's a little thing customers will ask about it, they could go up by 10p and they'll complain. "That's not going to be enough to pay my bills. We're having to dip into our savings which we have had to work for all our lives." The retired nursery teacher added: "We have to have the heating on as my husband has health issues, but we have to go without some things."
