North East Lincolnshire Citizens Advice Bureau is warning of a potential ‘perfect storm’ of unemployment later this year as companies face the reality of their finances.

We’re told an end to eviction bans, the winding up of furlough and a reduction in universal credit could even lead to a surge in homelessness.

Tony Gaskins is Chief Executive of Citizen Advice in North East Lincolnshire and says he's concerned about redundancies.

He feels that could begin when non essential shops are allowed to reopen.

He also is worried about firms which may struggle when Government support reduces.

Another issue is tenants who are in arrears.

At the moment there is some protection due to the pandemic but that will go later this year.

The CAB provides advice to anyone facing big issues like money worries or legal matters.
