Recommended Budget Savings

Among the recommended budget savings in the forthcoming Brent Council budget agenda are:

• Ending the remaining youth services at Roundwood Youth Centre and making it a purely educational resource.
• Reducing scrutiny committees again.
• Dimming street lights
• Closing the Abbey Road recycling centre
• Cutting adult social services
• closing all the childrens centres
• Drastic cutbacks to Council Tax support
• and part time opening at "some" Brent libraries.

I shall be particularly looking at the details of the proposed cuts to Brent libraries since they are likely to go against the ethos of Libraries Transformation Project, and undermine the impressive achievements of Brent Libraries.  I wonder how many of the library litigants will be concerned?
