Families get council help
Last summer the council announced that it would receive £2.3million over the next three years as part of the Government’s Troubled Families Programme to reduce the burden of certain families on the public purse.
Those who have received support are those struggling with crime and anti-social behaviour, school attendance and poverty, where parents are on out-of-work benefits.
