LESS than six months after local councils received a special two per cent rise in council tax bills, a precept to be spent exclusively on adult social care, a new report paints a damning picture of service cuts and more funding needed from those needing care (The Press, September 15).
Why is it that town halls all over the country need extra large doses of taxpayers’ cash to feed themselves, while at the same time cutting essential services but finding money for vanity projects?
