More news of cuts to public services in Ealing that should give Ealing's MPs pause for thought about whether they can afford to approve the 60% hike in payments to the audit-failing EU - and certainly whether local voters will approve of such a choice, come the next election.
The Ealing Gazette reports today that 15 teachers at Ealing, Hammersmith and West London College are losing their jobs as a result of a government cut of 7% - equating to £2m - from the college's budget for adult education services.
The cuts are thought to be the "tip of the iceberg", with more following before September.
The college has campuses in Barons Court and Ealing, and is having to increase class sizes and merge some services as a result.
Amarjit Busi, deputy principal of the college said: "We've lost £2m of public funding support at the same time we're being told to direct money away from lower-level courses."
"It's going to affect the most vulnerable and poorest parts of the community."
