Labour failures leave councils in the dark says Goldsworthy

Commenting on today's BBC survey which reveals tens of thousands of council jobs in England could be at risk over the next five years, Julia Goldsworthy said:

"Three quarters of council money comes from Government grants. John Denham's attempt to wash his hands of blame is outrageous.

"Councils are currently working in the dark and planning for worst case scenarios as Labour refuses to publish the spending review they promised last summer.

"Ministers love kicking difficult political decisions into the long grass. They must come clean about cuts to council funding."
