Top 10 Scottish areas where people could struggle to access affordable food
08.11.2022 - 17:35 / dailyrecord.co.uk
A consumer group has warned that the "cost of food crisis" could have a serious impact on certain Scottish areas.
Which? worked alongside the University of Leeds to identify the places around the UK where households are most likely to be in need of extra support to put food on the table.
It comes as food inflation soars to a record 11.6 percent, with the list topped by areas where there is a combination of low income and little access to cheap shopping options among other factors.
In Scotland, the places in highest need of support are in the Central Belt, with the list topped by North Ayrshire and Arran.
However, there is also a notable concentration in and around Dundee where there is relatively poor access to online food deliveries and people are more likely to be suffering from fuel poverty - as well as operating on a low income.
Sue Davies, Which? Head of Food Policy, said: "We know that millions of people are skipping meals through the worst cost of living crisis in decades but our new research tells us where around the UK support is most urgently needed.
"The supermarkets have the ability to take action and make a real difference to communities all around the UK.
"That’s why we’re calling on them to ensure everyone has easy access to budget food ranges that enable healthy choices, can easily compare the price of products to get the best value and that promotions are targeted at supporting people most in need."
Which? based their rankings on areas with the highest percentage of priority places, which have been uncovered by the Consumer Research Data Centre at the University of Leeds.
Factors such as low income, poor access to affordable food, having no large supermarkets nearby, a lack of online shopping
