We the undersigned believe that the Tory Bedroom Tax is an unfair attack on the poor and is wholly unjust.
We call upon Telford & Wrekin Council to
• Use their influence to call on all social housing providers in Telford to implement a no-evictions policy for any arrears due to the imposition of the Bedroom Tax.
• Work with social housing providers to create a fund to allow all tenants that have been charged this tax to be repaid while a campaign is built to abolish the Bedroom Tax.

The Bedroom Tax is an attack on the working class. It is a weak link in the Tory assault. It makes no sense, is indefensible, it does not save money and will not solve the housing crisis.

The Government expect me to let a stranger lodge in my 'spare bedroom'- the bedroom where my eldest son, Kevin, aged 27 years young, died , suddenly 11 years (27.07.02) ago and my youngest son Dominic, aged 23 years young, died suddenly 2 years ( 06.02.11) ago. I also had a daughter , Louise, who died many years ago. I had 3 children , now all dead , two of them died in the so called ' spare room' , so my boys bedroom means the world to me, it is not a 'spare room' it is THEIR room,and always will be. I am too ill to work and my partner cares for me full time, so getting work is out of the question. My doctors have written a letter to state that for me to move would harm any chance of recovery I may have,, because of the strong emotional attachment I have to my Son's bedroom _ so I have to pay 720 pounds,a year, which I can not afford, to keep my son's bedroom as they left it , before they died . This government cares ? I think not

A society that treats it's weakest members the way the Tories are treating people on housing benefit, is not a civilised society. The bedroom Tax is barbaric to say the least

The "bedroom tax" would be unnecessary if there was sufficient social housing being built in places of high rents. The annual cost of housing benefit could be reduced by building more council houses.
