Food voucher scheme 'paused' due to high demand

North Northamptonshire Council pauses food voucher scheme due to high demand, with applications on hold for three weeks. The Household Support Fund (HSF) vouchers were available for low-income families, pensioners, and individuals with disabilities. The vouchers, funded by the Department of Work and Pensions, ranged from £150 for a single person to £320 for households with three or more people. Applications were paused to address the backlog, with plans to reopen on 4 August.
