It's an interesting stance to take which perhaps he hasn't thought through. And its difficult to discuss without turning this thread in to a political debate.
However, in terms of G4S - what if there are contractual obligations which the council can't withdraw from without financial penalties. And how quickly are they able to identify sufficient replacements in time within legal procurement time-scales? The alternative to cancel the event was probably never an option because the City actually does care about its "social & cultural services".
Regarding closure of Libraries - like every single resident in the city, PW would have had an opportunity to look at an on-line tool that allowed us all to attempt to balance the councils budget once the Tories have viciously cut £156m from this city over the next 3-years. That's in addition to over £140m that was previously snatched from us. Using that said budget balancing tool, had PW opted to retain the library the impact would have been to reduce available budget for children's or adults social care.
Perhaps he should stick to performing mate
