These are some of the services that the Council admits will get worst as a result of the proposed budget cuts.
When is a budget “efficiency” saving really a cut in pubic service standards?
A summary of where public services cuts will be made over the next couple of years has been published by the Council. It reveals the split by department.
It admits that £1.87 million in 2012/13 will come from “service cuts” while claiming that another £5.4 million represents “efficiency savings”.
On close examination many of the “efficiencies” are no such thing. They are cuts in service standards.
Reproduced below is a list of some of them.
We will publish a list of the cuts that the Council is now admitting to shortly.
