Local Debt Help Guide for Stafford

Stafford is set to suffer from the cuts announced in the government’s Comprehensive Spending Review. This is why we have put together this free Debt Help Guide for Stafford.

As much as 40% of Stafford’s workforce is employed in the public sector, leaving Stafford particularly exposed to the planned public sector job cuts.

Percentage of employment in public and private sectors in Stafford

The government estimates ½ million public sector job losses, and some economists believe the end figure will be nearer 725,000.

Stafford, whose workforce relies so much on public sector employment, will feel the full force of the spending cuts.

Benefits cuts affecting housing benefits, Child Benefit and Child Tax Credit will only make matters worse.
