Its about time the government woke up to how local councils are struggling.
Tightening belts is one thing but they're virtually on starvation rations
funding wise now. Where do they think Fulham will get the millions from?
Raising council tax with all the covid unemployment? Oh yeah, great plan.

Always been the tory plan to cripple local councils, especially labour
controlled ones.

Yes, if Hammersmith still had a Tory council, I'm sure it would have been
treated much better. This government seems to be particularly blatant at
discriminating in this way.
