Southwark Council cuts

[treehugger]

I read in the Standard yesterday that Southwark is having to make the hichest cuts of any London Borough. Other inner London, disadvantaged boroughs also have to make MASSIVE cuts: all between ?35m and ?39m. Wealthier boroughs have to make much smaller cuts, for example, Richmond, only has to make ?1m cuts. I understand that disadvantaged boroughs need, by definition, more government help and therefore there is more to cut. Nevertheless, it seems against all logic and fairness. I simply do not believe there is that much fat in Southwark's budget or that a cut in the Chief Exec's salary will make all the difference. I am really fearful for this borough and the people who live in it.

Anyone agree?
