Liberal Democrat Councillors have approved an amendment to the Council’s budget that will mean front line youth services in the city are protected from cuts, despite the difficult budget situation.
The Council’s Executive agreed to reduce cuts to the youth service budget by £100,000, meaning that the savings required can be accommodated through management changes and not reductions to front line projects.
We have been very keen to emphasise the importance of having universal youth service provision available, alongside the more targeted work. There had been some concern locally that youth work services may be withdrawn from Fulford youth centre, we are pleased to say that the Lib Dem amendment means youth provision will remain at Fulford youth centre.
The funding money will also ensure the future of projects including the Urbie bus, Zoo Skatepark and the Duke of Edinburgh award.
