Cuts imposed by Lib Dem-run Swansea Council are already starting to have an impact. Among the casualties are a series of successful IT classes held within the community for people who want to continue learning.
At last week’s council meeting, the education cabinet member confirmed that a “total of 44 IT courses have been cut at 8 venues throughout the County. The venues are Bonymaen Community Centre (2 classes); Bryn House (4 classes); Dynevor Centre (8 classes); Forge Fach Clydach (6 classes); Hafod Community Centre (3 classes); Montana Park Community Centre (7 classes); Waunarlwydd Community Centre (14 classes)" - which is actually only seven venues.
The budget ‘saving’ from the cuts amounts to £76,100 but we understand that a voluble member of the ruling hybrid coalition is most annoyed that most of the cutbacks are in areas that have Lib Dem or Independent councillors. He is reported to have contacted the chief education officer - or "organ grinder" as he put it - to demand a review.
