Steve Double, Member of Parliament for St Austell and Newquay, has welcomed the u-turn by Cornwall Council on proposed cuts to the funding for Cornwall’s Citizens Advice Service.
In a statement issued today. Cornwall Council announced that it has found four years of budgeted funding for Cornwall CAB, a u-turn on the previous plans by the Liberal Democrat/Independent-led Council that would have seen £200,000 slashed from the essential service.
Commenting, Steve said:
“I am glad Cornwall Council’s leadership has seen sense, and for once listened to the many voices opposed to their plans to cut these essential services for vulnerable people in Cornwall.”
“I was pleased to add my voice to the cries of many people from across Cornwall calling for them to get their priorities right, and am pleased that on this occasion, the clear views of the people of Cornwall has been heeded.”
