ISCRE funding looks in doubt
What will council cuts mean in terms of the knock-on effect for organisations it uses, such as the Ipswich and Suffolk Council for Racial Equality?
The Forensic Science Service is to close.
Councils across Suffolk are working out how they'll cope with the cuts announced to their budgets. The Ipswich and Suffolk Council for Racial Equality's workload has doubled in the last two years, now its funding looks in doubt. Foz talks to ISCRE's director Jane Basham.
The Forensic Science Service - which analyses evidence from crime scenes in England and Wales - is to be closed. They were integral in gathering evidence which led to the conviction of Suffolk serial killer Steve Wright. Foz chats to Mike Clancy, the Deputy General Secretary of Prospect - the union which represents more than A THOUSAND forensic scientists.
Great Cornard is host to a human Library. David Grimmer from the Suffolk Libraries Service was there. He tells Foz all about it.
Foz talks to Gwen Thompson and John Stretch who play two of the 3 Little Pigs at Ipswich's New Wolsey Studio.
