The Executive Member for Homes, Communities, IT and Cost of Living Crisis updated Members on the measures the Council was taking to address the cost of living crisis. He advised that the Council was working with Teign Community and Voluntary Services, Department of Works and Pensions, Citizen Advice Bureau, local foodbanks and Teign Housing to assist those residents that require support.
