Is this an annual increase aligning (almost) with the new tax year? If so, your rates have not risen since April '22, unlike anyone on a direct residential supply of gas and electricity, and yet you have still enjoyed £400 support via the EBSS and £150 CT rebate.
What does your TA say about the cost of this communal service? 

By TA do you mean tenants association? There isn't one, but there is a leaseholders association responsible for the freehold, and they set the rates charged to leaseholders -- council tenants don't have any contact with them.

In this context presumably TA would be Tenancy Agreement

If you only use gas for cooking you'd be better of getting an electric cooker and saving the gas standing charge.

At current epg electric is 3x the cost. And the OP may not have money to swap.

Won't take much use to wipe out the ave c28p sc. Saving either,if had one.

Using Ofgem aver 28 sc/(34-10) = 1.2 kW.

12p gas 40p electric etc

Less than 1 oven meal I guess

Although there are likely to be efficiency qurstions re hob etc

Gas heat always leaks around  a pot - the right sized pan electric hob less so.

But if paying for heating, that's less heat in winter, but the OP is unmetered so not an issue
