Further 10% cut to local authorities

[AdamSmith]

I bet you were wearing a ra ra skirt and and waving your pom poms when this next line of cuts were announced today?

 

no Stan wouldn't "waste " the money! the cuts are needed to stave off the leech like drain of this countries resources, the days of the easy ticket has gone, councils need to get real with spending, help for this that and any other cause or hard luck story from abroad is all well and good in the lush times unfortunately those times haven't been around for a good while so now we have to cut our cloth accordingly.

That depends who you are, if you're rich the gravy train rolls on.

don't forget that this is 10% cuts in 2015/2016

 

This is on top of the massive cuts already made and those to be made this year AND in 2014/15

well hopefully the cuts will make the councils think more carefully about spending their budget on non essentials, minority interests and white elephants:roll: then maybe the books will balance

One would think so but it won't Labour will carry on with their policies come hell or high water.

Just my view.

Give us a list of local council cuts you'd like to see then. Specifics, not just general rants about "throwing money at all these PC doogooder projects and immigants (sic)"

The funding for improving the roads was European money so i'm pretty sure that won't be affected.

Trying to borrow £30 mil against future business rates to give to hammerson so they'll park a JCB near john lewis for a couple of weeks and pretend they might do something at some point seem one obvious massive abuse our council are trying to engage in.
