Bus routes hit as Lancashire County Council reveals £179million cuts (From Lancashire Telegraph)
No department has been left out of the list of cuts, which includes:
• Cuts to 16 bus services, of which eight will affect East Lancashire, including school services.
• No longer offering care services to 3,900 people whose needs are assessed as ‘moderate’, rather than ‘critical’.
• A hike in the charges for day care services, meals on wheels and home care.
• The closure of five of the county’s 15 children’s homes, leading to a reduction in the number of places available from 90 to 60.
• The closure of a further four household waste recycling centres, in addition to the four already closing this year.
Bosses admit that £97million of the cuts will affect services, while another £7.3million will come from increased fees and charges to taxpayers.
A consultation will now be held before a final decision is made in March on the cuts which will take place over the next three years from April.
Conservative council leader Geoff Driver said reductions of £179million from the previous budget of £725million left him with little choice.
The county council runs most services in Burnley, Pendle, Rossendale, Hyndburn and the Ribble Valley. It employs 24,000 non-teaching staff, 9,000 of whom live in East Lancashire.
Council tax is likely to be frozen for the next three years.
