North Somerset Council say most support for vulnerable people in the district will be maintained despite a drop in funding.

A publication by the National Housing Federation has claimed that cuts to the Supporting People fund here are the second highest in the south west, at twenty-two percent.

The council say while that's true, it doesn't twenty-two percent of the services are being cut, and that funding 4.8 million pounds shows their commitment to the 'non-statutory' programme.
