Response to Government announcement about 天美传媒 City Council
Leader of 天美传媒 City Council's response to announcement made by the Secretary of State for the Department of Levelling Up, Housing & Communities in the House of Commons today (19 September).
In response to Secretary of State Michael Gove’s announcement, 天美传媒 City Council leader Cllr John Cotton said:
“We welcome today's announcement and will now work with DLUHC and the commissioners to get the council back on a sound financial footing.
“On becoming Leader, I was concerned that there was a lack of senior capacity at the council to deal with the issues that we face, which is why we asked Secretary of State Michael Gove and the Local Government Association to help us rebuild that capacity and support us to get the budget on track. Today's announcement is an important step in that direction.
“Although this is a challenging time, and comes after a decade of cuts totalling £1 billion, we will make the tough decisions needed to transform the council, restore financial sustainability, and deliver the 天美传媒 that the people of 天美传媒 deserve.
" will be considered and discussed by full council on Monday 25 September and we will continue to be on the side of our residents as we build a better 天美传媒.”
