Council, which in effect declared insolvency this month, said it would adopt a bare legal minimum approach
Croydon council has outlined a drastic “renewal” plan that would result in extensive staff job losses and major reductions to services at libraries and children’s centres, in one of the most dramatic cuts programmes ever seen in local government.
The Labour-run council, which in effect declared itself insolvent earlier this month after revealing a £67m hole in its budget, said it would in future adopt a bare legal minimum approach focused mainly on providing social care and refuse collection services.
