STUART MCMILLAN MSP AT GREENOCK'S SUGAR SHEDS
THE Scottish Government supported almost 10,000 low income households across Inverclyde in June.
New figures show the council tax reduction scheme helped people in 9,940 homes across the district - and collectively saved families an estimated £138,000 each week.
Inverclyde MSP Stuart McMillan said: "While the Tories at Westminster are gearing up to prematurely end the furlough scheme, and throw thousands of Scottish jobs on the scrapheap, the SNP government is standing up for low income households in Inverclyde and helping relieve the financial pressures caused by coronavirus."
