Belfast City Council's contentious £1million fuel hardship fund has caused "reputational damage", the Alliance Party has warned.
It has written to the council's chief executive seeking a meeting to discuss fresh concerns over the scheme, which distributed vouchers of up to £100 to help with household energy bills.
The roll-out during the winter was labelled "Dickensian" after reports of people queueing for hours in a bid to receive the payments which were allocated on a "first come, first served" basis.
