Well the news that Local Government won't be affected by any further cuts this year
is good news, however they've already suffered cuts in excess of 20% since 2010, so the effects
of those cuts will be felt right through until 2017 and for some local authorities that's
going to have a real impact on the services that they're able to provide for the most
vulnerable. For example, there's been a 16% increase in homelessness since 2010 and the
responsibility for providing for homeless people falls on Local Government.
