EDINBURGH CITY COUNCIL - STOP PRESS
Good news to report from Edinburgh!
After much humming and hawing, Edinburgh City Council has finally confirmed that it will definitely be making revised offers to clients of Action 4 Equality and Stefan Cross.
We had not heard from the Council on Thursday as agreed. So, by Friday lunchtime we had no option but to signal our intention of stepping up the campaign and to take our case to directly to Edinburgh´s elected councillors.
But very late on Friday, word suddenly came through that the Council had finally got its act together and would stop messing about - as it has been over the summer months.
So, while our plans to take the campaign to elected councillors won't now be necessary - our ability and willingness to do so proved crucial in the end.
Individual offers to Action 4 Equality/Stefan Cross clients are likely to be issued in late October with payments being made in November.
We will post other information here, as soon as details are confirmed.
