Consultation process

Councillor Bob Wright - I support this decision. I think it is disgraceful that the government have cut the essential funding to support ‘Benefit capped’ families and that we should ask for reinstatement.  This is not levelling up it is disenfranchising. In real terms, it will mean less money to assist those already in trouble albeit we keep prevention as the priority.

 

Councillor Stan Pajak  – I very much believe the Citizens Advice has a crucial role and support the recommendation.

 

Councillor Oliver Donachie - I support the recommendation

Councillor Kevin Small – No comment received.
