Lambeth Labour make tough decisions in the face of 27% cuts

Again Steve sets out clearly the tough decisions from last nights cabinet meeting:

And fellow Cllr Mark Bennett also has a good take on the meeting:

Lambeth's cabinet - with backing from Labour Group, faced possibly the most difficult budget in 50 years. These cuts were forced on the Council by the Tory-led government and are not of our making or choosing. However, we have worked hard to apply Labours values to the decisions taken, protecting the most vulnerable in our communities.
