Previous Action

 

The No2BedroomTax Campaign supports all efforts to mitigate the effects of the bedroom tax.  We support Mr Dailly's petition.  We have spoken to many community groups who share the same fears as we do regarding the ramifications of the bedroom tax. We have lobbied councils and housing associations for 'no eviction' policies, reclassification and more funds to help and advice those affected by the Welfare Reform Act 2012.

Renfrewshire and South Ayrshire Council accepted motions of  "No Evictions" for Bedroom Tax arrears (with caveats) after lobbying from the No2BedroomTax Campaign

The No2BedroomTax Campaign worked with Glasgow and West of Scotland Forum of Housing Associations (GWSF) and the Scottish Tenants Organisation to publish a signed letter by all concerned decrying the Bedroom Tax and calling for it to be repealed.

We have lobbied Councillors, MSPs, MEPs and MPs to support all actions that mitigate the effects of the bedroom tax and, ultimately, scrapping the bedroom tax.

From this lobbying we have recieved support from Labour Party, SNP and the Green Party of Scotland as well as support from a cross party of individual councillors. All parties agreed(except LibDems and Conservatives representatives) that the bedroom tax should be scrapped but the LibDems did agree that more should be done to mitigate the effects of the bedroom tax.
