The Leicester county council will be announcing their toughest budget cuts for years. Based on the following information where would you make the cuts?
Total Budget £688M of which £350M is finding for schooling leaving £338M to work with.
£59M is spent on children and young people. This pays for school improvement services, youth services and 300 children in care.
£51M is spent on Highways and transport maintaining 4000km of roads 3000km of paths 61000 street lights and subsidise 82 bus routes.
£29M on recycling and waste management handling 320000 tonnes of household waste per year.
£125M adult services such as social care supporting 12300 older people, also those with disabilities and mental health issues. Residential care, homecare, meals, equipment and adaptations, day service and supported living.
£11M on Libraries and Museums.
We decided to cut £5M from Highways : £7M from Recycling as should be making money: £5M from adult services through organisational change: £3M from Libraries.
This will save £20M per year but we have no idea how structure of each sector is set up. The top wage earners are CEO on £193K with a top tier wage bill of £3.9M.
My big question must be what was the unaccounted for £59M spent on? A rather large sum to go under the heading of Miscellaneous don't you think?
So over to you now what would you have done?
