Row over council funding cuts

Need To Know Lincolnshire

Available for over a year

Lincolnshire County Council is facing criticism over cuts to funding for some services, including a dementia support project. The council says it is removing duplicate services to save £1 million a year, arguing support is available elsewhere. However, charities and opposition leaders warn the cuts could leave vulnerable people without help, especially as dementia cases are expected to rise and demand for support grows.
