steep Posted August 21, 2023 Share Posted August 21, 2023 Headlines of the Sheffield Star today is Sheffield council £47.7 million pounds of cuts. I just can’t see it being possible cutting any more funds from care packages amongst other things that will probably effect everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeHasRisen Posted August 21, 2023 Share Posted August 21, 2023 (edited) This is what happens when a) national governments cut funding to local authorities, and b) local authorities arent legally allowed to raise council tax by the current rate of inflation without having a referendum first. I look forward to this thread going off on one about rainbow pedestrian crossing and big flower pots soon though. Stay tuned.

Anna B Posted August 21, 2023 Share Posted August 21, 2023 Very disappointing news. I doubt there's much that can be cut without severe repercussions so hold on to your hats. As usual it will be the most needy who will feel it most. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crookesey Posted August 21, 2023 Share Posted August 21, 2023 It’s a clear case of doing it whilst the Tories are in government. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will be the Tories who have cut the funding in the first place. As they have done several times over the past 13 years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As Anna said (and I also said it in the very first reply), they are the ones who have caused it in the first place. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stay tuned. Don't forget Councillor expenses. They are a huge drain on SCC's budget. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irene Swaine Posted August 21, 2023 Share Posted August 21, 2023 They need to get fining those parking on the pavement and on bicycle lanes. That will bring in some revenue. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah yes of course, the elected officials on a basic annual wage of around £13k. They must be able to wear diamond encrusted shoes. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
