Conservatives will help pensioners in Blackpool and Cleveleys by increasing the state pension.
Labour’s legacy to working generations is two and a half million British pensioners living in poverty, many of them who live in seaside towns just like ours.
We can’t go on like this.
To combat the negative effects of means-testing pensions, a Conservative Government will re-establish the link between average earnings and the state pension – enabling us all to enjoy the true value of our pensions in old age.
The threat of homes being repossessed to pay for residential care bills will end with the introduction of a ‘home protection scheme’. No pensioner should have to live with the fear of having their home being taken away from them.
For pensioners struggling to pay their bills, Conservatives will work with local councils to freeze council tax for two years. To help every household in Britain reduce the cost of their energy bills, a Conservative Government will provide real action by offering up to £6,500 of energy improvements for homes.
Benefits valued by Blackpool and Cleveleys’ pensioners, such as the Winter Fuel Allowance and free TV licences, will be safeguarded by Conservatives.
