Many households are also under the threat of severe prices rises in April with an expected 4.99 per cent rise in council tax and a 14.4 per cent surge in broadcast from providers like BT, EE, Vodafone, and Plusnet. This is compounded by the fact that annual earning on average over the past seven years has only increased by 17 per cent, according to mycommunityfinance.co.uk.
