'Social diabetes' warning offered to cities hit hardest by budget changes
The Bishop of Liverpool has warned that some of Britain?s major cities risk ?atrophy and death? as he joined with council leaders to launch a scathing attack on the Government?s cuts programme.
Council and faith leaders from Manchester, Bristol, Birmingham and Sheffield met in Liverpool for a conference highlighting how urban areas with high levels of poverty are having to make proportionately deeper cuts that better off regions of the country.
The Right Rev James Jones, who recently won praise for his role in chairing the Hillsborough Independent Panel, said some of the poorest areas of the country were having to sustain cuts that ?do not feel fair?.

Hmm, looks like we might have to add a couple of new Types - social and urban diabetes!
