Come Together - Calling on Eric Pickles to rethink self-defeating, unfair & divisive cuts to Local Government
Huge Government cuts to Council funding are self-defeating, unfair & divisive
For many Councils the majority of their funding comes from Government, so Government cuts mean they have less money and are forced to cut local services. Government isn’t taking into account or assessing the cumulative impact of these cuts. It is becoming clear that the impact is significant, leading to a crisis in frontline services, affecting the most vulnerable
This is made worse by the way the Government has applied the cuts, with areas with highest need facing the greatest cuts. The cuts damage the ability of local government to support job creation & tackle worklessness both of which are vital to support economic growth & recovery
We call on DCLG to change its allocation of council funding to protect areas of greater need, giving Councils the chance to save services such as libraries, children’s centres, funding for charities & voluntary groups, & care for the disabled, the elderly & vulnerable
