A High Court judge is expected to look at whether North Somerset Council's proposed cuts to youth services are legal today.

A judicial review was granted in May, after 21 year old Aaron Smith claimed the council is breaching the Equality Act by not accounting for the special needs of those who use the groups, like their disability, race and sexuality.

The authority says the planned cuts of 71 percent over four years are neccessary - and that it will continue to provide targeted youth services.
