Cost-of-living bulletin

7/27/2022 4:30:00 AM

The global economic aftershocks of the Covid-19 pandemic, combined with the war in Ukraine, have had an adverse effect on economic growth and led to large and rapid increases in the price of energy, fuel, food items and many essential goods, pushing UK inflation up to a forty-year high.   

To help to better understand how the rising cost of living may impact the people of Herefordshire, and the groups and areas likely to be most affected, we have brought together a range of relevant socio-economic data and intelligence into a new Cost-of-Living Bulletin. The Bulletin will be updated regularly as new data become available.
