South Lanarkshire Council had spent just over £5 million on additional costs as a result of the crisis. Just over £2 million was recorded in lost income including £544,000 in parking and roads income and £240,000 from planning applications.The net cost to the council, after £800,000 in unspent budget is taken into consideration, is £6.2 million.So far, the council’s additional spending has been covered by the Scottish Government through the Food Fund, Hardship Fund and consequential funding.The net cost to the council is expected to be £29 million by the end of the year but, should assumptions that a “level of charge” be made to the Housing Revenue Account and capital programmes not materialise, the net cost would increase by almost £23.5.
