As you now may know .........oday we reveal the devastating cuts that will hit almost every council service in Manchester. In what are described by town hall leader Sir Richard Leese as ‘the worst cuts since the war’, dozens of youth centres, libraries, nurseries, swimming pools and leisure centres will close.
Bin collections will go fortnightly, housing for more than 300 vulnerable families will be scrapped and council childcare costs will be hiked by more than quarter. Car parking prices will rocket and motorists will have to pay to park in Manchester on Sundays for the first time.
All overnight street cleaning will be axed and all public toilets will be closed – except for one.
