It looks like over the next four financial years Southwark Council has to save a total of £80M from an annual budget of £1.5Bn.

Attached is what the money is spent on currently:

Please do take 5 minutes to email me your thoughts of where any cuts should be made – james.barber@southwark.gov.uk

Some big decisions are required. Southwark Labour party made manifesto pledges of around £20M of extra revenue spend a year – the biggest being free universal school meals costing an extra £5M a year. So the cuts will have to be more severe if they stick to these pledges – which they’ve said they will.
