The threat of more cuts to “vital” local services could lead to the “collapse of society”, according one local councillor.
Cllr John Fairclough made the remarks at a meeting of Sefton Council’s cabinet this morning, after a presentation by executive director of corporate resources Stephan Van Arendsen into the council’s precarious financial situation.
Discussing the council’s medium term financial plan, Mr Van Arendsen said: “The financial environment the council is in at the moment is quite complex and there is obviously uncertainty about levels of government funding, what the council tax policy is, other funding issues such as around adult social care.
