Tory Cuts Hit Hard

South Ribble Councils Budget for next year is a bitter blow for those most in need. The Tory run council has resorted to desperate measures as it attempts to balance the books

What Tory cuts mean

• No help for homeless

• No help for victim support

• No help for womens refuge

• No grants towards Summer Playschemes

• No jobs for apprentices

• No more investment in playgrounds

And to rub salt in the wound

• £1 to park at the railway station

• Minimum charge on Leyland Car Parks to go from 20p to 50p

• Cuts in money for parks

Labour leader, Matthew Tomlinson said “It is only a few months ago that a Tory Councillor proposed increasing Councillor allowances by a huge 126%! This will come as a real bombshell for many people in the Borough.”
