Maddock's on a mission make no mistake. You'll be fine as long as you don't drive a car, use public transport, enjoy local art, have teenage kids...
“In the Red” Ken Maddock has had his ludicrous spending cuts approved by the Tory Council. Despite protests from members of the community Somerset Council will now seek to save a whopping £43 million by axing the arts budget in its entirety and cutting road maintenance, youth services and Police Community Support Officers (PCSOs).
Other areas for the chop include Bus subsidies, Truancy officers, Household Waste Recycling Centres. In addition, 1500 jobs are expected to go over the next three years.
At the time of writing full details of the agreed cuts have yet to be published.
