Council Debt and the impact on Services

In a recent radio broadcast, the Head of East Sussex Council, Mr. Keith Glazier, highlighted a troubling projection: East Sussex Council is facing a £70.3 million debt over the next two years, with a current deficit of £55 million. It’s estimated that 25-50% of this debt is due to adult care costs, a fact that underscores the mounting pressure on public services to support vulnerable adults in our community. But what about the other half?

When I reached out to BBC Sussex for more information, it became apparent that the remaining portion of the debt may be linked to children’s services, specifically remote children or SEND (Special Educational Needs and Disabilities) care. These vital services are essential for children who depend on council support to access education and live fulfilling lives. Yet, they seem to be one of the most underfunded and least discussed areas of council expenditure.

This issue isn’t unique to East Sussex. In an ITV News report on October 14th, Kent, a much larger council, was highlighted as being in £143 million of debt, with similar concerns about care services being the main drivers.

The troubling reality is that while adult care rightly demands attention, children’s services—often for those who cannot advocate for themselves—are at risk of being overshadowed by the sheer size of the financial crisis facing councils. The public needs transparency about where the money is going, and more importantly, a clear plan for how we are going to address these shortfalls without sacrificing the future of our children.

The Stealing of Emily explores themes of justice, care, and the systems that often fail the most vulnerable among us. This growing debt and its potential impact on children’s care services are just another reflection of these failures in real life.

Let’s demand accountability and ensure that both adult and children’s care are given the support they desperately need.

Kent County Council receives approximately £1.4 billion annually from central government, but this is not enough to cover the rising costs of adult social care, children’s services, and school transport. As a result, the council is facing a financial shortfall of £144 million by 2026-27. To balance its budget, KCC must make significant cuts, amounting to about £90 per person in Kent. If these savings are not achieved, the council risks issuing a Section 114 notice, signaling financial insolvency. More details are available here.

I sent follow to the Information Control Office As clearly this seemed to be having a disproportionate effect on the Council services:

Everyone is asking on twitter: “Can I sue a Judge?”

Yes, you can in very slim circumstances If a judge creates a court order based on that fraudulent affidavit, the judge has also committed a felony. Anyone attempting to enforce an illegal court order is, in effect, committing an act of violence against you.

What is an affidavit: a written statement confirmed by oath or affirmation, for use as evidence in court.
