Copuncillor Phillips MOnthly Update
Budget Savings Following the Cut in Government grants we have made over £ 10 million of savings in 2011/12 in the 145 million council budget we now need to prepare for a further £ 7 million reductions in 2012/13. The aim is to identify the savings in the way we deliver the services rather than the services themselves. During the last year we have minimised the reductions in services. In our parishes the mobile library service has been stopped,some changes to bus services and tourist information centres have been outsourced. We are hoping to have a small community run library in Lyonshall and volunteers have had a meeting with the council to operate it at coffee mornings in the village hall.
Kington Festival Food Fair Market Hall & Place de Marines Saturday 3rdDecember 9.30 to 2.30.
