When the Lib Dem/Tory coalition took office in 2010 they embarked on an ideologically driven programme of cutting money from essential public services.

Shocking new data shows that Southwark Council have had cuts of over £107 million since 2010 from central Government funding. This is on top of cuts to other public services, including schools, hospitals, and police.

Labour run Southwark Council continues to deliver for local people despite these savage cuts but the Chancellor must use his budget to reinvest in councils and reverse the damage that has been done to our communities.
