TORY COUNCILS CUT EMERGENCY HELP FOR POOR

EMERGENCY cash for England’s poorest people has been axed by councils across the country. 

Millions of the most needy have had vital support snatched away after a quarter of authorities in England, mainly those run by the Conservatives, ditched a Local Welfare Assistance grant scheme.

The average award in 2021/22 was £229 to ensure people plunged into direst poverty had food, heating and a roof over their heads.

Figures show 21 of 34 councils that have now scrapped the scheme are run by Conservatives. Seven have no overall control.
