I want to ensure that my constituents receive the best price deal for their gas and electricity. I am therefore conducting a survey to try and reduce the amount local residents pay their energy supplier. I have been made aware that some people are on prepayment meters and this means they are disadvantaged.
The disadvantages of prepayment meters include:
· Above average costs for gas and electricity;
· The best energy deals on the market not being available to prepayment meter customers;
· The inconvenience of having to go out to 'top up' keys and smartcards;
· The risk of your energy supply being cut off if you can't reach a shop to top up your meter;
· Older meters needing to have their prices updated manually after price rises or falls. This can take months and means customers can be left paying old rates and owing a lump sum or paying too much.
As the Member of Parliament for Hendon, I am committed to fighting for the interests of all my constituents. Please let me have your views on this matter by completing my short questionnaire: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/TRV2DLK
