Cllr Jane Roberts BEM of the Community Development Trust warned councillors and residents at the full council meeting that a lot of people will be facing a lot of challenges this winter.

Tim Shelly of the Ross Community Gardens has called a meeting of numerous voluntary groups to work out how Ross can be supportive through the food, energy and cost-of-living crisis, and the CDT is supporting Tim through those endeavours. There may be a request filed to the town council for assistance in the future.

Herefordshire Council are potentially making available £500 of funding, however Cllr Roberts remarked that £500 would not stretch very far.
