Happy New Year to you all

Happy new year to you all.

I hope 2012 is good for you and the forecasts about unemployment and squeezed family budgets don't come true.

It is my intention as Lead Councillor for Education and Children's Services that Reading Borough Council do not pass on the Tory led coalition cuts and that front services are protected. This will be difficult due to one of the worst local government settlements in the country. However, this minority Labour Administration is looking to make savings from senior management budgets and planning efficiency savings by merging Directorates. This is the only way to make savings to protect front line services. If the other political parties oppose these measures then I look forward to seeing how the savings are made elsewhere.
