Lancaster City Council is facing the biggest cut to its funding in England next year. The government has cut the money it gives Lancaster by 6.4% (a small number of councils, predominantly in well off places such as Windsor and Wokingham will get a slight increase). m.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-30537288. Lancashire County Council is facing even bigger cuts. With about 60% of spending unable to be cut expect some pretty tough decisions over the future of amongst others Salt Ayre, Storey Institute, libraries, the Maritime Museum, the City Museum and others, Barton Road Community Centre, arts funding, funding for activities and clubs for young people, services for the elderly etc. I think it is going way to far and cuts are targeted at the North. Id hate to be a local councillor that now has to make the decision what important services to get rid of. What would you cut?
