Our Plan for Esher and Walton constituency includes helping people with the cost of living, so it was useful to catch up with the team at Esher CAB to hear more about the valuable work they are doing to support people in Esher and beyond.
We discussed what the government is doing to help local families with the cost of living – from how the recent cost of living payments worth £900 in 2023/2024 have helped to ease the cost of living for local people, to how we can make the benefit cap fairer and more effective in places like Esher. I will be following up on this with the Chancellor ahead of the Spring Budget in March.
