| I don't know why you are so determined to shut your eyes to the fact that there are continuing consequences to Government cuts to Local Authority funding. We are lucky to have some way of finding out something about the services that the Council is expected to provide for residents. If you choose not to read it then you can't be surprised by any changes that are taking place. It may not tell you everything but you'll find out even less without it. We are part of a bigger world than just Ealing. The UK Government has been taken to Court and lost three times because of our illegal air pollution and their lack of progress in doing something about it. The Government has just passed the buck onto the Local Authorities (answers might be a bit controversial and upset the voters). I know you don't like hearing it but there is a problem with the amount of cost cutting that the Government's austerity programme has created. You can find out more about it in any political colour of newspaper. It is still ongoing: https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/england-council-budget-cuts-government-austerity-social-services-essential-care-safety-a8559486.html |
