Capelrig House A ‘HEALING house’ for child victims and witnesses of crimes can open in East Renfrewshire. Councillors have agreed to rent Capelrig House, in Newton Mearns, to charity Children 1st for 25 years at a minimal rent. In a UK-first, the charity will provide a place for children to recover from traumatic experiences and give statements to specially-trained staff. Medical care will also be provided at the centre of excellence. Council leader Tony Buchanan said: “I’m delighted we’ve been able to support this pioneering project. “It will benefit children right across the West of Scotland and take a new approach to supporting child victims of crime.
Councillors welcomed extra cash from the Scottish Government for councils which agreed not to raise the tax. They are expecting to get an additional £1.8m – equivalent to a 3% increase. But the settlement from Holyrood – currently £196m – came under fire from opposition councillors, with claims it shows “utter contempt” for local government. The council agreed to take £3m from reserves to cut the budget shortfall to £5.5m. With the area’s culture and leisure trust and health and social care partnership set to identify their own savings, the council needs to find £3.5m of cuts. However, that figure could reduce once the Scottish and UK Governments finalise their budgets later this month.
