Somerset has kept its counsel over the statements being made about our budget and we'll do so for a few hours more. Our County Council meets tomorrow when our revised proposals for reducing our budget by £1.35m will be considered as will a range of questions, submissions and other proposals, notably from local groups. Needless to say, staff in Somerset Library Service cannot accept the figures circulated here. It seems right that SCC members are firstly briefed on these figures and discuss them with local campaigners before we air them on this List.
