Has Blackburn with Darwen Council really thought about the cuts that it is about to impose?

Reduced services for older and vulnerable people – more people will die through neglect.

Dimming streetlights at night – increased vandalism and burglary.

Reduced street cleaning and reduced hours at waste recycling plants – increased incidence of fly tipping and litter.

Not repairing potholes – higher incidence of claims against the council for damage to private vehicles.

Can the council also explain how reducing waste and recycling collections to four days a week is going to save money if staff will be working longer hours?

It would make more sense to remove half the council-lors and reduce the perks of the others.
