Next year the council will cut at least £128,000 from its budget for Youth Services.
Placed away in one of the appendix papers for the upcoming Cabinet meeting, they say, “The service will be re-structured, with a revised staffing budget and organisational structure put in place by April / May 2012.”
The council is looking to completely remove the management of the service from the council. They hope a voluntary organisation or charity to start running it in 2012.
By “externalisation of the service” (their words) they say “additional savings” may be delivered, but they aren’t sure that they might be.
