Green light for half a million pounds worth of cost-of-living measures in Renfrewshire

A series of measures to help Renfrewshire's vulnerable during the cost-of-living crisis have been given the green light.

The broad package of support, which includes winter clothing payments and plans for warm spaces, was approved by councillors at Wednesday's Leadership Board.

A sum of £300,000 will facilitate the delivery of an additional £50 payment for each child who currently receives a school clothing grant, while £50,000 will go towards the creation of sites people can visit to heat up over a cup of tea or coffee.
