Croydon services face real cuts warns authority

Councils across the capital fear possible cuts in services following the recent announcement of funding for local authorities.

Croydon residents could face cuts to services after the central government funding package for the borough council was announced.听听 Conservative cabinet members are warning the settlement is not good news for the borough.听 The consequence they say is that the authority faces unpalatable choices over what services it will continue to fund.

Tory Councillor Gavin Barwell is the cabinet member for resources and customer services.听 He said:听 鈥淭his is three years of real term cuts.听 It is a deeply disappointing, unrealistic and frankly irresponsible settlement that takes no account of Croydon鈥檚 needs.

"Any cuts to small voluntary sector organisations who are already struggling would be devastating."

鈥淩ising numbers of older people, the ever-mounting costs of landfill, provision of free bus travel for over 60s and the unreliability of Government population figures are already straining our budgets鈥.

impact could be devastating

This news is also unwelcome to many of the borough鈥檚 voluntary sector services.听

Councillor Barwell went on to say, he听anticipates Croydon will join a number of boroughs across London lobbying to try and convince ministers that the Government鈥檚 funding proposals are unsustainable for the capital.
