Services in London could be slashed, due to a lack of funding, according to Westminster City Council. ‘London has been dealt a serious blow in terms of our ability to deliver quality services,' said Cllr Colin Barrow, deputy leader and cabinet member for finance at Westminster. ‘This settlement will force councils to make tough decisions and has been made worse by inaccurate migration figures. The capital has the highest levels of unemployment, child poverty and housing overcrowding in the UK and needs more resources to address these issues.'
