Group’s vow to battle cuts on services

5 comments

Campaigners have vowed to monitor the actions of councillors regarding cuts once the coalition Government’s spending review is announced next month.

Around 20 members of the public gathered at the Priestwood Community Centre last week for the inaugural meeting of Defend Our Community Services, (DOCS), a campaigning group which has pledged to defend services such as hospital and library provision from cutbacks.

But as delegates voiced concerns over the threat to Heatherwood Hospital and other services, the spotlight fell on Priestwood’s Conservative councillors.
