Fight the Cuts in North Somerset

North Somerset UNISON will be continuing its campaign against the £50 million of cuts that North Somerset Council plan to make, which will impact on services for the most vulnerable people in North Somerset including children and young people, older people and people with disabilities. And we won't stop fighting until they set their budget on 21st February 2012, and even then we'll keep fighting.
