I am appalled that the Budget Headlines propose to cut the Welfare Rights Unit in favour of payments to ‘agencies that can help’. It has been my experience that our Welfare Rights Unit has expertise second to none and are compassionate and helpful to those in need. At this time of extreme hardship to many of our residents it seems to me to be a crassly stupid and uncaring thing to do.

I am more appalled at the Lib Dem leaflet in Redbridge!

I don’t approve of that leaflet either and LDFI have made very clear to the party what we think. However it has no relevance to the disgraceful proposal to cut the welfare rights unit which is used by Councillors and Social Services staff alike.
