Letter - cuts will be deeply felt
We write as concerned residents of Kensington and Chelsea, living in the borough for over 25 years, at the impact and consequences of the deep and unfair cuts in social services provision for the elderly, frail, mentally ill and vulnerable members of our community, that use day centres, carers, and outreach workers.
The cuts of over £400,000 will have an impact on our quality of life and the elderly and infirm that depend on community facilities will suffer greatly.
The council has allocated £115m in its reserves for further amelioration and extend its private housing stock with developments in North Kensington.
The council has already been censured over its expenses attending foreign seminars and sending documents abroad.
The cuts to the health social services budgets impact upon community cohesion, age-inclusiveness, and the general well-being of our esteemed members of the community.
Holland Park Opera is unaffected - elitist.
Cuts to the provision for the mentally ill will have knock-on effects with more hospital admissions, visits to GPs, and more incivility in the community.

You are kidding? 4,000 staff and 77 lawyers? When I was a child here there was one lawyer and a social worker covering the entire council. There needs to be thousands of cuts in order to bring back some sanity in this vile, slick,Wall-Street type of NLP'd greasy atmosphere of greed, town hall chiefs are obnoxious and most of the staff are not needed at all.
