Lancashire County Council’s cabinet has announced the start of a consultation on its budget proposals for local services, which will deliver £216 million in savings by April 2018.


Following an informal consul­ tation over recent months in­ viting views on a list of options developed by council officers, members of the cabinet have decided not to include plans for 100% cuts in spending on subsidised bus services and subsidised denominational school transport. As part of the consultation,

Cloudy2Clear Windows - Service With A Smile!


It’s been a crazy few months for Cloudy2Clcar Windows, The company which , specialises in repairing windows which arc steamed up, broken or damaged by replacing the panes-not the frames has grown rapidly as homeowners take advantage of their services. Branch Manager Paul


Aspin feels that it’s all about service. ‘Our y product is simple. If your double glazing is., misted up wc can replace the glass at a fraction of the cost of a new window, in any type of frame, and with a new 5 year guarantee. But it’s not just about saving


people money, although . that obviously helps.- Many tradespeople have struggled since last year and 1 honestly feel that during the good times a minority perhaps didn’t focus on customer care as much as they should have done. We make sure wc turn up when we say


. we will, do the job the customer requires and leave their house as clean as a whistle. I often get comments back from customers on how they really didn’t expect that sort of service which, in a way, is very sad for the service industry as a whole.’ Cloudy2Clcar service


the Burnley, Padiham, Nelson & Colne areas


and Paul is finding that his approach is a major factor in his success. ’The truth is that it’s not just the personal satisfaction that I get from doing a good job but also it makes good business sense. I get a huge amount of business from friends and family


SK


of people I’ve done work for, which just goes to show how much a little bit of effort is appreciated.’ So, if your windows are


steamed up, broken or damaged give Paul a call for a free quotation on 0800 61 21 118 and he’ll be happy to help!


Borrow, Deputy Leader of the Council, explained: “We have to find unprecedented sav­ ings due to a combination of cuts imposed by central gov­ ernment and rising demand for essential services such as


social care. “This means that in addi­


tion to the £2im. of savings for 2015/16 already identified in last year’s budget, we have identifiedafurtherf79.8m.of savings to be made this year, a total of£ioo.8m. Between 2010 and 2018 we will have made savings of £547 million, which requires radical action. “We can make some sav­


ings by introducing more in­ telligent and efficient ways of working. However, it is also clear thatwewillhave todeliv- ersomeservicesinadifferent way and stop providing some services altogether. We will do all we can to ensure that we protect the most vulner­ able in the county and we are also committed to spending our resources fairly, accord­ ing to need. “As a Cabinet we are not


supporting tfie option of re­ moving bus subsidies or fi­ nancial support for children travelling to denominational schools, having listened to feedback from the consulta­ tion we’ve carried out over


recent months. We are now carrying out a further consul­ tation before the full council meeting in February takes the final decision on the budget.” Speaking about the pro­


posed council tax increase, Coun. Borrow said: “In viewof the unprecedented financial challenge we face, this mod- • est increase will bring in ad­ ditional funds that will make a real difference to local servic­ es. Equivalent tojust over 42p per week for a band D proper­ ty, the increase would bring in an additional £7-5m which is the equivalent of protecting more than 180 children’s so­ cial workersorrepairingmore than 300,000 potholes. “We realise times are tough


but hope that local council tax payers will understand why we are proposing this; i f we don’t do it the gap in the coun­ cil’s funding will become even bigger and service reductions more severe." • Find out more at the
