A Sedgemoor Council Scrunity Committee says the County Council's proposed seventy-five percent cuts to the youth service budget will have a detrimental effect on young people in Somerset.

A meeting of councillors and represenatives of the local Youth Parliament and the UNITE union has discussed whether the savings will lead to an increase in youth crime and unemployment, and if youngsters had their views taken into account enough.

The Committee's urged Somerset Counil to reconsider it's position.
