Cuts to welfare and financial advice jobs in West Dunbartonshire create a frightening situation for the most vulnerable in society, it has been claimed.
Under proposals approved by West Dunbartonshire Council’s Labour administration in their March budget, up to 28 full-time roles from the welfare rights and money advice services teams could be axed.
This will see some teams at the local authority’s Working4U service cut from 11 to potentially just three. West Dunbartonshire Council (WDC) say it’s too early to accurately confirm the number of reductions to staffing numbers.
