Plans for a further cost of living package for residents - worth more than £200,000 - have been published by South Cambs District Council.

The proposals include a roadshow of cost of living talks, support to transform some 'Warm Hubs' into 'Community Wellbeing' hubs, increasing awareness of council tax support and more free energy saving appliances.

A South Cambridgeshire Sustainable Food Network would also be created to link up all the existing food banks in the district, creating a network of support for each other and distributing food that would otherwise be thrown away.

The ideas are outlined in a report published on Monday, February 20, and will be discussed at the Scrutiny and Overview Committee on the last day of the month, and finally at Cabinet on March 20.

These latest proposals build on a package of support worth almost £400,000, which was agreed by the council in November last year.

Just over half of the initial funding came from the Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Integrated Care System (ICS).

Cllr Bill Handley, lead cabinet member for communities, said: "Our aim with this fresh package of support would be to continue the momentum that we have built-up this winter, which has received overwhelmingly positive feedback."
