Labour-controlled Derbyshire County Council has failed its first post-Corbyn test. Despite the council leader publicly declaring her support for Corbyn, the council voted to back its decision to decimate its school crossing patrol service, part of a £157 million cuts onslaught. Anti-cuts campaigners, including Lisa Blakemore, the recently elected Chesterfield TUSC secretary, have collected thousands of signatures from irate parents. Campaigners, including TUSC, will continue to build a mass campaign against the cuts.
