More than £167,000 of rent arrears have been written off by West Dunbartonshire Council as residents face the “biggest cost of living crisis in generations”.
The amount of debt owed to the council increased from £11,973 in 2018 to £132,589 in 2021 - and this year totalled £167,878.17.
During Thursday’s housing and communities meeting, members also agreed to allow the chief officer to write off individual debt of up to £5000.
