Labour is also calling for a council tax freeze for the hardest hit households.
The party launched a stinging attack on the Conservatives’ “repeated errors of judgement” in the two decades it has run the council and said it would invest “in people rather than property”.
“Conservative cuts plan to remove school transport for special needs children and for those children medically excluded from school; reduce care at home for the elderly; cut back supported living assistance for disabled adults; and not replace vacant posts at the council, adding more pressure on the already-beleaguered workforce.
She said funding would instead focus on recruiting and retaining staff to help the most vulnerable, a council tax freeze for the most vulnerable, long-term investments in renewable energy, and “20 is plenty” speed restrictions to improve road safety in residential areas.
