We may all as well go live in a cave! This is pretty poor stuff, from a modern so called caring society.

I notice the smelly stuff always runs downhill! The Government makes cuts to Local Authorities grants and states it will now be the responsibility of the Local Authority to make provision for cost if they still wish to supply certain services.
Local Authority follow suit and state it will be the responsibility of Parish Councils to provide funds if they wish to retain supply of certain services!

I see roads maintenance is to be cut, WBC must already have the worst maintained roads in the South of England regarding potholes and ice clearance, the cost of having a couple of contractors going around and shoveling in a bit of tarmac and patting it down with the back of a shovel, which seems the norm, and then repeating next week must be exorbitant?
