Nottingham City Council has provided an update on household support vouchers for the city's residents amid the worsening cost of living crisis. One councillor, however, has argued the £3.5m grant, while a seemingly large amount of cash, equates to just a "tenner" per person.
The Labour-run authority will accept an additional £3,556,933 grant from the Government. It comes as part of the Household Support Grant which has before been distributed in Nottingham.
Cash in various forms will be given to a number of residents who qualify, including families in receipt of free school meals, residents in receipt of council tax relief and young people living alone. Back in December last year 7,500 people received £100 supermarket vouchers and a further 4,000 people claimed energy vouchers worth £49.
