The MP for Clwyd South has welcomed the government’s decision to extend the mortgage holiday by three months.

Simon Baynes MP believes the decision, announced by Chancellor of the Exchequer, Rishi Sunak, will help those in his constituency who may be struggling financially during the COVID-19 pandemic.

“This is good news for people and families in Clwyd South struggling to pay their mortgage due to COVID-19,” said Mr Baynes.

“Everyone’s circumstances are different, and where homeowners can pay some or all of their mortgage, they should work with their lender on a plan.

“But I want every resident in Clwyd South to know that this mortgage holiday support is available for a further three months if you’re still struggling.

“As always, if there’s anything I can do to support you, please don’t hesitate to get in touch with me by email at simon.baynes.mp@parliament.uk.”

Lenders will contact their customers in June about extending their mortgage holiday for a further three months.
