Child poverty rate drops in West Dunbartonshire - but remains above Scottish average
20.07.2022 - 13:57 / dailyrecord.co.uk
More than 3,500 children are living in poverty across West Dunbartonshire, according to a new report.
The End Child Poverty statistics reveal almost one-quarter of children are living below the breadline, though the figure has reduced by 15 percent.
A total of 3,685 children were in poverty in 2020/21 – compared to 4,189 a year earlier.

“This report also suggests that the situation will get worse during the cost of living crisis.
“I have heard directly from foodbanks struggling to keep up with demand and receive regular enquiries from constituents genuinely worried about how they can feed their families.
“The situation is desperate and rising energy costs, food prices and household bills will exacerbate the problem, particularly during the colder months.
“The SNP Scottish Government and the Tory UK Government cannot bury their heads in the
