City of Philistines

Cambridge City Council are going to cut spending on libraries by 30% over the next three years, in an attempt to save £20 million. CCC lost money in Iceland investments. This is a fait accompli. They are asking how we want to spread the cuts, but the cuts are a fact. The CCC doesn't believe in consulting people before making decisions. They consult once the decision has been made.

We've seen a series of book shop closures as well, Brown's, Border's and Galloway & Porter.

Outside the university the city is devolving, sinking into the fens.
