People in Loughborough tell BBC News how they are coping with soaring energy and shopping bills

"Looking ahead to the winter and hearing about the rise in energy prices is very concerning though.

"I will have to cut back on luxuries - I won't be going out or looking at holidays or weekends away. I suppose whatever little savings we've got will have to be used now. What else can you do?"Catherine Mynott says the rise in food prices has been 'astronomical' "I can say that energy has gone up an awful lot," said Catherine. "I think that will be more of a battle in the winter. At the moment as it's summer we don't have to use the heating so we're alright."But if people's mortgages and things like that are going up I can envisage that it's a very difficult time.

"We're okay at the moment but it is a bit of a rip-off and the cost of petrol is pretty ridiculous no," he said.
