Demos has just produced a disability cuts map of all UK local authorities. Bristol City Council is rated in the worst category group of local authorities and ranks 147th out of 152 local authorities. The reason for the authorities exceptionally poor performance in this league table is its inability to protect front line services from budget cuts. The Demos verdict on Bristol:
Cuts Level: Very High
Coping Level: Very Bad
