Cardiff chitter-chatter, news and more

Is their not a 2.7% contribution by managers as they can't force an hour of them like other staff? Or maybe that is from councillors...
 
some more detail from Stop the Bloodbath budget fb page

Cardiff Council has announced BRUTAL plans to cut funding for jobs and services in the city. The heads of over 700 workers are on the block as the council threatens to slash £50million from budgets.

The bloodbath includes the closure of Splott Pool in April and/or the eventual closure of the STAR centre, MASSIVE CUTS to the youth service (which is already under-funded and under-resourced), ending library services in half of Cardiff Central library and shutting it for a week, selling off St David's Hall and the New Theatre, the rationing of support for people with mental health problems and learning difficulties, increasing the cost of meals-on-wheels by an unaffordable 50%, closing day centres for older people, cuts in support for people with mobility problems, cuts for children in care, for young carers, young offenders and kids who are on the child protection register, and more.

Meanwhile, Cardiff Council is sitting on a cash pile £50million high and have unused powers to borrow in the short term to fund jobs and services while a campaign for more cash is built.

Join the protest and call on Cardiff Council to take a different road, to fight the cuts, not implement them, refuse to slash budgets and campaign for more funding for services.

The full list of proposals is http://www.cardiff.gov.uk/content.asp?nav=2872,3257,6836,6845&parent_directory_id=2865

Assemble at 330pm, outside Cardiff City Hall, Cathays Park CF10 3ND
