Library savings programme 2011

Due to cuts in central government funding, the Council needs to reduce its spending by £83 million. This means we face some difficult decisions and council services are changing as a result.

Proposed Closures Of Caversham Childrens Centre And Acol Childrens Centre

The Local Government Financial Settlement announced in December 2010 confirmed a 26% reduction in funding for local government.
