Minutes:

Following the referral of this item from Council on the 27 January 2021, Councillor Coole, as original proposer, and Councillor Harber, as seconder, were invited to speak to the motion.

 

The Corporate Portfolio Holder thanked Councillors Coole, Harber and C Dowden for their contributions to the item and explained that although there were a number of existing initiatives in place both at a national and local level to tackle this issue, it was felt that officers should undertake a more detailed piece of work to better understand what support is currently available, how this can be accessed and where there might be any gaps in provision so that further support, if appropriate, might be highlighted.

1.  That officers be requested to undertake a piece of work to clarify what support is currently available for those in period poverty.

2.  That a report be brought to a future meeting of Cabinet.
