Research by the BBC (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/10316635.stm) revealed proposals to make savings including Nottinghamshire Council closing 13 of its care homes, cuts to homelessness project funding in Canterbury in Kent and cuts to adult services in Worcestershire and Staffordshire.

The news came as Unison called on its members to stand up to the cuts with Dave Prentis, general secretary, saying that the government "won't know what hit them" if it cuts services or pensions.
