Highland Council: £3.5m children’s homes investment and recovery plan tracking
Highland Council is progressing a £3.5 million investment in children’s homes, with work focused on securing properties, putting staff in place and matching children back into local residential care. The meeting said the programme is supporting a shift toward kinship, foster and local care, but future budget monitoring still needs clearer phasing.

A Scottish council is considering investment in school recycling infrastructure, including internal and external bins plus staff support, after hearing that limited infrastructure is holding back recycling in schools. The opportunity is currently unfunded, but the committee discussion indicates a clear potential spend if budget is approved.
