Lib Dems in Solihull and Meriden are campaigning to keep free TV licences for many over 75s.
The Conservative Government has scrapped free TV licences from 1st August, which will impact on 13,710 households in Solihull.
During the pandemic, the TV has been a lifeline for many elderly residents who’ve taken the government’s advice and stayed at home.
We call on the Government to reinstate the free TV licences for the over 75s.
