The council, due to its airport, is holding an emergency budget next month. LBC will be looking to cut council jobs and council services to stave off bankruptcy while at the same time pumping even more money into its airport.
The council still needs to spend an extra £20m for the Development Consent Order and find £124m for the first phase of the road to the location of the second terminal. Seems that the council residents will be paying a high price and there was I thinking the airport was meant to put money into the councils coffers.
Lets not forget the £30m already spent on the DCO and the £225m the council has borrowed to fund the Dart that does not increase the airports existing capacity and does not benefit the councils taxpayers.
As for the existing social services, Luton has already been condemned this year by OFSTED for its appalling children’s social services with its lowest rating and this is before the latest cuts.
