\"Bedroomtax\"<\/a><\/p>\n

A community leader has said the new “Bedroom Tax” is forcing citizens into crime to stay in their homes.<\/p>\n

Sue Leader of Ely Against the Bedroom Tax said: \u201cPeople are having to break the law to find the money to pay for this tax.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re seeing people having to resort to selling drugs, their possessions, anything that means anything to them\u201d, she claimed at a rally against the tax on Saturday.<\/p>\n

The tax, called a “spare room subsidy” by the government, sees housing benefits reduced if recipients have more bedrooms in their home than they need.<\/p>\n

Saturday\u2019s rally saw at Cardiff City Hall saw over 100 people march against the tax.<\/p>\n

Campaigners say spare rooms are unavoidable, with smaller properties hard to come by.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
