Tory-run Coventry City Council has consistently hit the most vulnerable with cuts and hefty increases in charges.
In the budgets for 2007/08 and 2008/9, charges for meals on wheels increased by 60% and over half a million pounds was withdrawn from the councils budget to promote independence for older people.
They also tried to close workshops for people with learning difficulties and reduced the budget for children leaving care by £150,000 whilst stopping before and after school clubs.
The Tories are hitting the most vulnerable with charges they can’t afford for services they need.
