Survey shows Islanders 'can't afford to turn heating on and are eating less to manage costs'

A recent survey shows Island residents are feeling the impact of the rising cost of living.

Island Global Research had responses from more than 1,200 people, with over half saying they're very concerned about poverty.

93% say they've noticid a major or moderate increase in the cost of living in the past six months. 

The survey also highlights how people can't afford to turn their heating on and are eating less to manage costs.

Other concerns included how expensive travel to and from the Island is, the lack of cheap supermarkets and 'unaffordable' rent and mortgages.
