Councillor **Phélim Mac Cafferty**, leader of BHCC and Chair of the Policy & Resources Committee, said: “We are taking the cost of living crisis with the seriousness the situation deserves and understand the colossal pressures people are facing due to ever-rising food and energy prices. Although there have been government commitments, which will alleviate some of the pain for some of our most vulnerable residents, I remain deeply concerned.

“Although the funding that’s been announced is only a drop in the ocean, it will enable the council to provide some critically needed support to those who need it most right now.”
