The proposed savings are huge and increases of up to 10 times the amount people are paying are planned. The council says that the poorest people will be protected but however anyone looks at it the most venerable and disadvantaged group in the county, i.e., Disabled People, are likely to be affected negatively by these proposed cuts.
