The latest round of schemes as part of the Help For Households cost of living support your Conservative Council is doing have been announced. These are on top of support from the Government and schemes we already offer to support residents. They are:
1. An extension of free school meals for children who qualify over the December and February school holidays.
2. £200,000 to support families with the cost of school uniforms as of December.
3. £100,000 to support households struggling to afford oil or LPG
4. £100,000 to support low income households with boiler repairs or upgrades.
5. £45,000 to support single households with energy costs.
6. £360,000 to support households on low incomes who do not qualify for Government Cost of Living Support.
7. £792,000 to support both single and family households who are in work and not receiving any form of benefit with an income (single household) of less than £26,000 per annum, or a combined income (family household) of less than £31,000 per annum.
We are committed to doing all we can to support our residents through this difficult time.
