Left: Rishi Sunak criticises Labour councils for for raising council taxes and cutting services Right: Chair of the Local Government Association, Shaun Davies, explains how since the Conservative party took over in 2010 they have cut funding to local councils by over 27% @CllrShaunDavies So the Conservative party cuts funding to councils. The cost of providing services has increased. And demand for services has also increased. Meaning, the reason why councils across the country are struggling, and cutting services, is because the Conservative party have cut funding to councils Don't get angry at underfunded councils, get angry at the Conservative party who have underfunded them. And if you keep voting Conservative, expect even more cuts to public services
