Leader of the Council

Extremely concerned about the funding aspect of these proposals. History shows that where the government devolves the funding to the local authority like this that funding does not continue after a few years. Our council is the lowest funded authority in the country and is now struggling to fund the numerous activities that have been passed down to the council to operate without ongoing funding already so it will be difficult to absorb any more like this.
