Call for public buildings to be used as warm spaces withdrawn after cost-of-living plans agreed

A motion calling for public buildings to be used as warm spaces has been withdrawn by the Labour group after a series of cost-of-living measures were agreed by elected members.

Councillor Iain McMillan and his party planned to put forward proposals requesting local authority halls and community centres stay open every day from the beginning of December to the end of February for residents to visit and heat up at the next full council meeting.

However, an extensive package of support, which included plans for warm spaces, winter clothing payments and an advice pilot in high schools, was put forward and subsequently agreed at Wednesday's Leadership Board.
