Town councillors in Oswestry will demand their counterparts at Shirehall consult them on proposed cuts to services in the town.
Earlier this month, Shropshire Council rubber-stamped plans to cut £62m from its revenue budget as part of cost-saving measures designed to ensure it balances the books.
“Speak to us, as the people on the ground, before implementing any cuts that affect the people of Oswestry, so they come with proper consultation to this authority before reducing services so we can have a proper say,” he said. Councillor Kerr, who is also county councillor for Oswestry South, also urged the unitary authority to conclude the asset transfer of the town’s youth services building on Oak Street to the town council, along with a parcel of land beside Oswestry Leisure Centre which is earmarked for a skateboard park.
