Dundee City Council Meeting

Monday evening saw meetings of various committees of the City Council. There were a number of reports which highlighted changes which are being made to the structure of the council. I was happy to support a motion which raised concerns about changes to the welfare system. I thought that it was important that we resisted the temptation to score cheap political points. The changes to the welfare system will have a real impact on real people right across Dundee, some of them are amongst the most vulnerable in Dundee. The City Council will need to ensure that our Welfare Rights team have an appropriate level of resource to try and ensure that people get the appropriate level of support.
