STANDING charges need an urgent fix for those in the Highlands and islands as they pay 50 per cent more than those in London, the UK Government has been told.
He said: “What has been going on for far too long has been the fact that people across the Highlands and islands have been paying more for their bills.“That’s the charge you have to pay every day, regardless of how hot or cold it is, and you still have to pay the standing charge every day. According to the Scottish Government, the Highlands and islands have a higher average of residents living in fuel poverty at around 32%, in comparison to the national average of local authorities which is 24%.
He said: “The campaign is to say, 'look, enough is enough, we need some fairness and equity brought back into the situation for the Highlands and islands'. “The other thing that could be easily adjusted to a more meaningful level is the old and rather redundant hydro benefit scheme which amounts to about £60 a year, which is means tested and a drop in the ocean.
