- Permanently expanding free school meal eligibility including support during the school holidays
- Extra free childcare for low-income families with young children
- Free period products in council-run buildings, with free home delivery for low-income residents
- Additional funding for independent advice agencies
- Support for council tenants impacted by increases in communal heating and hot water charges.
