Mark Carroll's Journal

I have no idea what the arrangements are for private renters who hit retirement age with no property and minimal income. I daren't look. I am hoping that enough other people hit this point over the course of this government that they have to come up with some sort of programme. Currently the state pension would pay 2/3 of my rent with nothing over for bills or food; clearly I could downsize but this doesn't actually reduce the rent by much because rents have kept rising since we moved here. Unless I downsized to Hull while somehow maintaining a Cambridge salary.
