Council lays out drastic package of cuts, including to playgrounds and community schemes, in measures described as ‘horrendous’
Woking council has laid out a drastic package of cuts to local services after it in effect declared itself bankrupt earlier this summer, revealing a £1.2bn deficit racked up from a risky investment spree overseen by its former Tory administration.
Plans include scrapping funding for all of the town’s sports pavilions and toilets, the closure of a swimming pool, cutting resources for parks, the arts, and ending council backing for some community centres, annual concerts, and its involvement in youth sporting events.
