LPG Price Rises, Travel Uncertainty, Upsizing Issues

You and Yours

Available for over a year

Liquid Petrolium Gas users say they feel ‘forgotten’ as fuel costs rise and supplies tighten. 200,000 off-grid households use LPG across the UK. Like heating oil the price of LPG is not regulated but it has not as yet been included in the Government's £53m support package. Three weeks into the Iran war travel uncertainty continues for people who've booked upcoming holidays to the region including Cyprus, Egypt, Turkey and Dubai. We hear from someone about the issues they've faced cancelling and getting their money back for a holiday in Dubai and we have the lastest advice on safe travel destinations and your rights if you're seeking to change plans. Plus the challenge of upsizing as the gap between the price of an average first-time and second-time buyer home growns to a 25 year peak. We'll have advice and information on to better your chances of making that next step up on the property ladder. PRODUCER: CATHERINE EARLAM PRESENTER: WINIFRED ROBINSON
