Welcome to Yourtown

Adult social care is in crisis, with councils pushed to the financial brink and forced to make difficult budgetary decisions as they try to plug the funding gap. The LGA estimates that care for the elderly, disabled and some of the most vulnerable people in society faces a funding shortfall of at least £2.6 billion (by 2019/20).
