This can’t be right, according to them it was very easy to solve this, they just needed to cut all the unnecessary spending

Not even in charge a year and they have bankrupted the council.
>The authority is still waiting on an answer over £71m in Exceptional Financial Support (EFS), and on whether it can increase council tax by up to 10% from April.
Need emergency money and want to increase council tax by 10%. That is insane.
>The council has already scrapped £30m in capital spending, which includes ditching a planned revamp of Redditch Railway Station and some highways improvements.
>It is also withdrawing vacant job posts in areas like IT, finance and HR as part of a plan to save £9m, but is still asking the government for £71.9m to balance the books.
I can’t image the budget for the council is much more than 500 million so thats an impressive mismanagement. How much of this is due to “outsourcing” on “mates rates”?

But surely if everyone in Worcestershire just cancelled Netflix and cut the fancy coffies … oh wait, that’s not how public spending works….

So when Reform ‘inherit a mess’ and make it worse it’s the previous administrations fault but when other parties ‘inhereit a mess’ and fail to turn it around in a few months it’s their fault. Right.

But they said they could DOGE us out of this?!?!
Were there not really millions being spent on pride flags and drag queen story time like they said?

I hope anybody considering voting for Reform in the next GE is taking note of this.
But, of course, they won’t be.

They just need to cut a few more voluntary workplace diversity seminars and maybe cut back on the avocado toast.

Reform are inept, incompetent, full of failed politicians and the worst our nation has to offer. They show time and time again, any responsibility they’re given they squander and worsen the lives of those they’re paid to help.
