A city council is to send a delegation to tackle Education Authority bosses amid a funding “crisis” in local youth groups.
Members of Lisburn and Castlereagh City Council (LCCC) have called for an urgent meeting with the EA ahead of new financial support rates coming in to play in a matter of weeks.
During a meeting of the council’s leisure committee, the EA faced calls to “give the money back” to local youth groups facing hefty budget cuts if the wrong formula has been used to slash funding.
