More and more Renfrewshire residents are “skipping meals” as they struggle with the harsh impact of the cost-of-living crisis.
The situation, exacerbated by high food and energy costs, has forced people to make decisions “harmful to their health’, an elected member has said.
Councillor Graeme Clark told a task force, which was formed to focus council support for those struggling, that the predicament is “getting worse” in some of the local authority’s most deprived communities.
