Coun Jilly Julian, cabinet member for finance and resources said she was ‘so proud to be launching this scheme to help support our residents during the ongoing cost of living crisis’. “As Labour councillors, we didn’t get elected to sit back and watch hard-pressed families struggle we came here to support and try and improve people’s lives,” she said.
