Submission Documents: By Councillor Billy McAllister:- "Council calls on the UK Conservative government to abandon its vindictive bedroom tax policy which they plan to implement in April 2019. Council recognises the dire consequences of capping housing benefit for one bedroom properties in the private sector, which will result in many more tenants becoming homeless due to lack of affordability of rent. Westminster cuts have already affected thousands of families across Scotland under Conservative welfare legislation. The fate of many would have been worse had it not been for the mitigation and intervention of the Scottish Government extending financial aid in excess of £50 million to many vulnerable families. Council calls on the Scottish Government to continue its' opposition to such welfare cuts." Help Icon
