flag Highland Council delays poverty commission funding until 2027, delaying support for vulnerable residents.

flag Highland Council’s new Poverty and Equality Commission, launched in May 2025 to help residents claim an estimated £70 million in unclaimed benefits, faces a funding delay until April 2027, with no implementation plans before the 2027/28 budget cycle. flag Despite expected recommendations by June 2026, officials cite budget constraints, requiring sustainable, within-budget solutions. flag Critics, including Councillor Alasdair Christie, condemn the delay as undermining a flagship initiative and leaving vulnerable residents without timely support during rising winter costs.
