Councillor Dowd said:”Never in our most pessimistic forecasts did we anticipate such a crippling and savage cut.
“Having already dealt with a 25% cut of our £17million allocation during this financial year, we had made realistic budget predictions of receiving just over £13million next year. We now know we are going to get only £5.74million and this is going to have a severe impact on our future plans.
“Currently we are reviewing all projects for next year, but my immediate reaction is that it will be difficult enough to maintain and operate what we have let alone think about improvements.
“During my 28 years as a councillor I have never experienced such a financial savagery, these cuts are vicious”.
