Who is paying the price for the spivs and charlatans who wrecked the economy and the Governments failed austerity programme?
Council
funding down by third since 2010
Council funding in England has fallen by almost a third since 2010, with
officials warning of more "difficult decisions" to come. New analysis
by the Press Association (PA) has found that cuts averaging 29% have been made
by local authorities to budgets for cultural services and transport services,
whilst an even bigger drop has hit housing budgets - including support for the
homeless – where councils have reduced funding by an average of 40%, and
spending on education services has fallen by 30%. PA used new government data
to compare the change in council day-to-day expenditure across the decade
- and in almost every area the amount of spending has dropped. Claire Kober,
chair of the LGA resources board, said: "Councils have increasingly had to
do more with less in recent years while trying to protect services, such as
caring for the elderly, protecting children and reducing homelessness, in the
face of growing demand.”
YES those that need the most help and who in no way caused the world economy to collapse.
