Description:
Welsh households have seen a spike in essential bills from April 1st.<br/><br/>Now Council tax rates vary, but as an example of a massive jump in bills residents in Pembrokeshire are facing an over 11% hike. Additionally, water bills are set to climb by 6%, impacting budgets across Wales. The average household water and sewerage bill in Wales will rise to £473 a year. <br/><br/>Most broadband deals and mobile phone contracts will rise by what consumer group Which? has described as a “completely unacceptable” on average up by 7.9 per cent. Separately, the annual cost of a TV licence will rise to £169.50 from 1 April, up from £159, which viewers need to pay to watch or record live TV shows on any channel, regardless of the device used. This includes watching anything via BBC iPlayer. <br/><br/>However, amidst these impending increases, Ofgem's reduction in the energy price cap offers some relief. The regulator is dropping its price cap by 12.3 per cent from the current £1,928 for a typical dual fuel household in Wales to £1,690, a decrease of £238 over the course of a year, or around £20 a month.

_singleton-uses-dating-app-to-find-man-to-help-her-with-diy.webp "A singleton used dating apps to find a man to help her with DIY - and repaid her date by making him dinner. <br/><br/>Clare Rea, 31, was attracted to the handyman she spotted on Hinge for more than his good looks and charm. <br/><br/>She went on two dates with him before mentioning she was struggling to build a coffee table - hoping he'd offer his services. <br/><br/>Knowing it was a 13-step job, she was delighted when he said he'd help put it together for her and spent three-and-a-half hours building it. <br/><br/>After realising just how long the job was taking, Clare decided to cook him dinner and the pair cuddled up on the sofa afterwards - but their relationship didn't go any further.<br/><br/>Clare, a plus-sized model, from New York City, US, said: “It was really important for me to bring fun back into dating - and if that looks like recruiting a man to set up your table, so be it!<br/><br/>\")
_potholes-more-than-half-of-liverpool-drivers-rated-roads-in-north-west-as-terrible.webp "We now have more than one hundred thousand miles of local roads across England and Wales that could need to be rebuilt within the next fifteen years, according to a yearly review of UK roads. The Annual Local Authority Road Maintenance or ALARM survey also found surface conditions have also declined - that's despite nearly one hundred and forty millionpounds being put towards filling in two million potholes in the last year. Just forty seven percent of local road miles were rated as being in a good condition, with thirty six percent adequate and seventeen percent poor. But, the rate at which roads are being repaired is up to its highest level in eight years, with the amount local councils are spending on improvements also increased across the board. But how are the roads near you? <br/><br/>The transport spokesman for the Local Government Association said the ALARM report reveals 'the huge challenge faced by councils in maintaining the local roads network', with roads deteriorating faster than they can be fixed, causing a backlog. But a Department for Transport spokesperson explained they've made extra money available for local authorities this year.")
