Be prepared – Swingeing Cuts are coming…. (We’ve had an election?)

Swingeing = severe, extreme, serious, substantial, drastic, harsh, punishing, excessive…..
Both Cambs County Council (To save £114 Million in the next 5  years) Fenland District Council (To save £1.8 Million over the next 3 years) This can only mean one thing, core services are now at risk.
Both Councils have made substantial so called savings over the ‘past’ few years, staff cuts, redundancies etc.
All services, Police and Fire services are seeing reductions in funding.
Up until now, this has had little effect on ‘front line’ services, but with these planned substantial funding cutbacks, I expect there will be some drastic changes on the horizon.
Of course – FDC have a consultation out to the public – You can have Your say as to where You think cutbacks could happen….Go to www.fenland.gov.uk/consultation
(closing date 26th October)
