Lib Dem Budget for Salford 2010/11
I’ve decided to publish the Lib Dem group budget overview online so that residents can take a look if they wish. Our priorities this year have been sticking to a 0% rise in council tax, whilst improving key services like housing adaptations; roads and pavements; winter contingencies; litter and street cleansing; and community safety. We’ve also been keen to avoid some of the more harmful cuts and price hikes proposed by Labour – like increasing the costs of Meals on Wheel; bereavement services and funeral administration; and ratcheting up costs for cash-strapped schools.
Full overview here, together with our concerns about Labour’s budget proposals here: Salford Liberal Democrat council budget 2010/11 (PDF)

Thanks for your comment Daz – the Lib Dem focus for Salford is on cutting waste and fighting to preserve and improve services – particularly those which the most vulnerable depend upon.
