It used to be a vibrant town centre and now it&#8217;s very run down.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;The council went bust and everything is run down now. It&#8217;s very sad.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>Residents told how services had been slashed leading to fortnightly bin collections, while bus services had been hit.<\/p>\n<p>Locals told how they are afraid to go out at night after street lights have been dimmed and switched off after midnight to cut the council&#8217;s electricity bill.<\/p>\n<p>Even fridges at the council&#8217;s headquarters have been switched off to save cash.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile householders have been hit by council tax rises of nearly 10 per cent.<\/p>\n<p>The authority is one of three in England given dispensation by the government to increase bills above the 4.99 per cap cap without holding a referendum.<\/p>\n<p>Things went downhill after Slough&#8217;s Labour-run council declared itself bankrupt in July 2021 when a &#8216;catastrophic&#8217; \u00a3100 million black hole in its budget was discovered.<\/p>\n<p>The council admitted going bust due to years of poor financial management and mishandling of commercial investments.<\/p>\n<p>When auditors went through the books it emerged the council had racked up a \u00a3760 million borrowing debt and a \u00a3357 million deficit.<\/p>\n<p>The authority went a year without producing accounts and had borrowed millions from other councils.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/09\/09\/13\/75243779-12498957-image-a-10_1694261160052.jpg\" height=\"845\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Retired Geoff Salt, 73, (pictured) has lived in Slough for 10 years but was born in Birmingham.

They are very resilient so I hope they will find a way through&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>As well as raising taxes the council is selling off \u00a3600 million of public assets.<\/p>\n<p>Buildings sold off include a leisure centre, cinema, DIY store, supermarket and warehouse which were not bringing in strong rental income.<\/p>\n<p>Residents say this has just added to the run down feel of the town.<\/p>\n<p>The council is making cuts of \u00a322 million and is hoping to save nearly \u00a3600,000 by cutting school transport as well as \u00a3750,000 through cuts to council building repairs.<\/p>\n<p>Reduced bin collections could save nearly \u00a3425,000.<\/p>\n<p>Rayeel Akhtar, 38, who has lived in Slough all his life, said: &#8216;The council&#8217;s gone bust and everything&#8217;s going down the pan. It has had a massive impact on our lives.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;The bins are only emptied every two weeks now. In this weather it smells so badly where I live &#8211; like a dead body. There are wasps and flies swarming around the bins &#8211; it&#8217;s disgusting.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;You can&#8217;t get a council property &#8211; you can&#8217;t get anything new. All the services have declined yet they are asking people to pay more and more for it.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;It is having an impact everywhere &#8211; shops are closing down.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;It&#8217;s got so bad a lot of people are leaving town.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>Former chef Paul Lampard, 57, said: &#8216;The people of Birmingham are in for a shock &#8211; and a lot of misery.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;When I heard about it though I wasn&#8217;t shocked as this sort of thing is happening a lot and I&#8217;m sure it&#8217;s going to happen a lot more.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/09\/09\/13\/75200607-12498957-image-a-11_1694261325094.jpg\" height=\"598\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/09\/09\/13\/75084701-12498957-Birmingham_is_the_latest_council_to_declare_bankruptcy_following-a-12_1694261345148.jpg\" height=\"392\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Birmingham is the latest council to declare bankruptcy, following in the footsteps of\u00a0Hackney, Northampton, Croydon, Thurrock, Woking and Slough<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;Things are so bad I would say I am just existing at the moment not living.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;All our services have been cut while our council tax has gone up more than anyone else in the country.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;I was paying \u00a3230 and now it&#8217;s over \u00a3300. I don&#8217;t know how I&#8217;m going to pay for it.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;I don&#8217;t go out at night any more because they have cut the street lights.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;There&#8217;s a lot of anti-social behaviour where I live and it is so dark I no longer feel safe.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;I had an incident where I was threatened by someone on a scooter who said they would &#8216;cut me up&#8217;.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;I reported it to the police but they did nothing so you feel there is no one out there to help you. It&#8217;s too dangerous to be out at night.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>Mr Lampard, who is registered disabled, says he has to pay for taxis to get around as a bus which used to stop at the end of his road is no longer running.<\/p>\n<p>He said: &#8216;They money that I do get I have to spend it on taxis because the council wouldn&#8217;t give me a bus pass.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;Life in Slough is grim these days. It didn&#8217;t used to be.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;Everywhere is closing because businesses can&#8217;t afford their rents and rates. The town centre is dead now. There&#8217;s nothing left and nothing to do.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;As well as less frequent bin collections people now have to pay to have their garden waste so people are just dumping it as they can&#8217;t afford to pay. There&#8217;s a lot of fly tipping as well.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;The library has reduced their hours. The Citizens Advice Bureau has closed so there&#8217;s nowhere to get help and advice &#8211; the list is endless.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>Retired Geoff Salt, 73, has lived in Slough for 10 years but was born in Birmingham.<\/p>\n<p>He said: &#8216;I don&#8217;t know how it will affect the people of Birmingham. They are very resilient so I hope they will find a way through.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;There have been cuts. There was a lovely huge Christmas tree in the town square but that stopped around the time of lockdown.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;Slough has certainly changed beyond recognition in recent years. Before the war it was basically a country town with flowers and orchards and fruit and veg.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;Things have changed all over the country. I used to live in Windsor and in some ways I prefer Slough.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;There more tourists in Windsor who have taken over the place. Here there is a community spirit. People are trying to remain positive in difficult times.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;I&#8217;m not sure if the council has got into problems because of vanity projects. The new library looks amazing. It&#8217;s an ultra modern building that was built about four or five years ago.<\/p>\n<h3>READ MORE HERE:\u00a0The &#8216;vanity projects&#8217; that bankrupted English councils: From authority that funded tycoon&#8217;s \u00a3650m solar farms &#8211; only for him to blow millions on a yacht, private jet and Bugatti &#8211; to town that wasted \u00a3750m on &#8216;Singapore-style&#8217; skyscraper\u00a0<\/h3>\n<p>&#8216;The old library was not very pretty but there was a lot inside. I&#8217;m not sure if there are as many books in the new library. It&#8217;s a bit all over the place and I don&#8217;t know whether they have the staff to keep on looking after it.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;The new bus station is also ultra modern. It&#8217;s very dramatic looking and even more so now. There was a bus that caught fire about a year ago which may have been arson.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;A whole section of the bus station was burned and I think they&#8217;re trying to fix it.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>In a bid to make savings it emerged earlier this yer that the council had been turning off fridges at its headquarters in a bid to save money.<\/p>\n<p>Officials the council had unplugged three of its four kitchen fridges at its HQ.<\/p>\n<p>Plans were considered to remove some of the fridges altogether amid concerns over high energy prices.<\/p>\n<p>The council had also closed down or three days between Christmas and New Year as a further cost-cutting measure.<\/p>\n<p>In February the council announced it was dimming its street lights to cut the borough&#8217;s electricity bill.<\/p>\n<p>The council pledged no street lights would be turned off completely in the move which affected 950 of the boroughs 13,000 lampposts.<\/p>\n<p>Despite these measures it was revealed<\/p>\n<p>In January it was revealed the debt-ridden local authority was still spending millions on temporary workers.<\/p>\n<p>Officials forecast a bill of up to \u00a318 million on agency staff between 2022 and 2023 &#8211; \u00a33 million more than the previous year.<\/p>\n<p>Between July and September alone last year, it spent \u00a34.8 million on temporary workers to fill vacant posts and specialist roles.<\/p>\n<p>The council said 62 permanent employees had left the organisation for reasons such as dismissal, resignations, or retirement.<\/p>\n<p>The council is also planning to move its workforce out of the headquarters it bought for \u00a339 million just four years ago.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/news\/article-12498957\/Being-bankrupt-not-fun-Birmingham-Residents-Slough-council-racked-760m-debts-warn-Brummies-lives-plunged-misery-council-goes-bust.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Being bankrupt is not fun, Birmingham: Residents of Slough where council racked up \u00a3760m in debts warn Brummies their lives will be &#8216;plunged into misery&#8217;
