Work to help people heat their homes may need to be replaced by ways to help them keep their homes as the cost of living crisis deepens, a council leader has warned.
Midlothian council leader Kelly Parry said that immediate action plans to support vulnerable families over the next few months may not be enough to deal with the problems people will face.
Councillors agreed to use Covid funds to provide free re-heatable meals and laundry services to help people cope with the cost of living at a meeting earlier today.
