Minutes:
This report presented a refreshed Cost of Living Crisis Response Plan for 2024-2025, summarising the activity delivered to date along with plans for the coming year. The Plan was set out in Appendix 1, within Supplementary Cabinet Agenda No.1.
The report also sought delegated authority to the Chief Operating Officer, in consultation with the Leader of the Council, to explore Medway continuing with the ReferKent scheme which was currently being re-procured by Kent County Council. At this stage the cost was not known but was not expected to be significant, and for 2024-25 could potentially be funded from the Household Support Fund.
