The scale of the financial pressures #LocalGov is facing cannot be met by reducing costs, making efficiencies or raising council tax.
Without action from the Government, councils will have no choice but to cut the services we all rely on.
#SaveLocalServices – a thread 👇
ALT A local service can't be cut twice written in bold white letters on a purple background, with a white line drawn in the middle to represent a cut.

You can’t separate inequalities of economics & #mentalhealth.
Suicide rate in NE now more than twice London rate, new @ONS report shows.
Deprivation, depression, the link is 2-way. If #LevellingUp is going to work, it has to address both.
