This week takes a look at the effects of austerity when it comes to council spending and what that meant in terms of cuts to local services. We looked at the north as a whole but focused on Hull as an area that has been hit particularly hard.
We spoke to local councillors, union members, teachers and library campaigners as they delve into the devastating impacts of these cuts.
Written and hosted by Annie Gouk. Produced by and music by Mark Magill.
