Remove Circuit laundry system from student halls and replace with free to use washing machines

Students in halls spend too much on laundry when rent prices are high enough. Let's replace this system with a washing machine that doesn't charge students for access to a basic household appliance.

This petition has been passed and will be actioned ASAP.

How Will This Idea Benefit Students?

Circuit Laundry's service is extremely costly and it is unfar to charge students £5 for just one load of clothing when rent prices are already high enough. Students already have to live on a shoestriung budget and washing clothes shouldnt be something that students should have to worry about financially.

The laundry system that is currently in place requires you to spend £5 every time you want to wash your clothes. For most people this would mean £10 on washing a week. Most student accomodations that have Circuit Laundry facilities, charge upwards of £100 a week on rent alone. It is not fair that this cost does not include access to a basic household appliance such as a washing machine. It is time that student accomoidations installed free to use washing machines and take the financial pressure off of them just to stay clean.
