“Last week’s Autumn Statement provides a solemn reminder of the reality of the cost-of-living crisis. Communities all over the Midlands are already battling with soaring energy bills, unaffordable rising costs to the weekly shop and the most difficult of decisions on how to prioritise strained household budgets.
