Worries about the cost of living has prompted Perthshire residents to reach out for urgent assistance - with Perth Citizens Advice Bureau (CAB) accepting a “staggering” 40 per cent rise in demand for its services.
Jane Adams, chief executive officer for Perth CAB, tweeted on Friday that the service was busy with calls and noted: “That’s another week finished and the team have had nearly 600 contacts with clients in the past five days.”
Yesterday, she told the PA of the rise in calls for help, specifically callers voicing alarm over bills for gas, electric, fuel and water.
