WSCC Youth Services Review up-date
Councillors had been asked to consider the results of a recent consultation, consider options and proposals to implement £2 million in savings, and give its comments on the options and proposals to the Cabinet Member for Children and Families, Pete Bradbury, who will take the final decision.

However, they voted for the following motion:

"Select Committee proposes that further discussion is deferred to another meeting until more detailed papers and supporting evidence is brought to the Committee, so that members are in a position to bring forward recommendations to the Cabinet Member."
