Bury Council’s £5m programme to support the lowest paid has been welcomed by the Real Living Wage Foundation.
Thousands of the lowest-paid social care and other workers are to get a pay rise, most of them employed in the private sector.
Social care staff who have been at the front line of the coronavirus pandemic are among those to be rewarded by the council’s first post-Covid budget.
