The leader of Wiltshire Council has said he is "extremely angry" over Labour's decision to scrap the rural services grant, which he says will cut £4.5 million from Wiltshire Council's budget.
The article discusses the backlash from local council leaders following the UK government's decision to scrap the Rural Services Delivery Grant, which was intended to support rural areas with higher service delivery costs. The grant, worth £95 million, was crucial for councils like Shropshire, where the leader, Lezley Picton, expressed frustration over the lack of consultation and the suddenness of the decision. This move has been criticized as "nasty politics" by Picton, highlighting the financial strain it places on rural councils already facing budget constraints. The decision has sparked concerns about the sustainability of services in rural communities, with fears that it could lead to cuts in essential services or increased council taxes. The article also notes that this decision comes amidst broader financial challenges for local governments, including rising costs and demands for services.
