All councils massively overspend on children's social care. It's because there is no social care act in place and successive governments keep ignoring the problem because it's too difficult and expensive. In the short-term that means that private care agencies have councils over a barrel when it comes to caring for SEND kids, charging extortionate amounts for care knowing that councils have no alternative.
Long story short, I guess it would mean that Widnes Vikings is well down the list of priority items to sort for HBC. As it should be to be honest.
Down the list, yes, but also important. If the Club are priced out of the stadium, then that would be a large loss in revenue for the Council coffers.
It's Widnes Vikings what put this town on the map, not the Municipal Building, not the Library, not the new Leisure Centre, etc.
