Cuts - Darkstar

XXX Council provides lots of services to lots of people

Like all councils around here, we’ll soon have much less money to allow for

services, so we need to do things differently

Thousands of you told you told us your views on how to balance the works

It was our biggest consultation ever

Making the council more efficient has already saved us £83 million

We’ve cut senior managers, overdue stuff from momentary services and we’ve

reduced our barrel of costs

We still have 69 million more to save

This is the same as twelve times what we spend on our libraries

It’s eight times what we spend on road maintenance

And it’s the same amount as we spend looking after old people or vulnerable

adults

Saving this much money is no mean feat and we need to work with you to get there

The majority of our money comes from the government and just 16% from your

council tax

So the cuts are hitting us hard
