Highways cut to meet claims
The Conservative administration at County Hall has mismanaged Surrey's Highways to such an extent that Highways claims against the Council for damage and injury in respect of Highways are expected to reach £1.3m this year. This is not surprising given the large number of potholes on Surrey's roads, the delay in repairing them and the many poor quality repairs which did not last.

Suffolk Outsourcing
I read with interest Richard Driscoll's concerns. (BFP 5/11/10), but he is fundamentally mistaken in his belief that the actions of Suffolk County Council in proposing to outsource services have any support from Liberal Democrats who, with the exception of one Councillor, voted against this proposal. Nor is this outsourcing anything to do with the Coalition Government which has clearly set out to protect vulnerable services. Indeed the Spending Review committed a extra £1 billion towards the local authority budget for Social Care, as well as £1 billion towards the care of the elderly being looked after by the NHS, so there is no need for any changes to Care Homes in Suffolk.
