It is a completely common sense decision. If you come here to live or work and you don’t speak English then it’s your responsibility to make sure you can understand what’s going on with documents, interviews or meetings.
🚨“It’s a very common-sense decision.”

The great Net Zero rip off continues - and we’re all paying for it
Hidden cost of renewables
= billions of £s of constraint payments
£100 per home per year
Rising fast
Will double in next 3 yrs or so
The cost of net zero idiocyView quoted post on X
And just a reminder that @Conservatives had TWENTY EIGHT YEARS in charge of Kent County Council to make rational, money saving changes like this.

‼️Last week at full council we successfully passed an important motion thanks to months of hard work from my @reformparty_uk Councillors.‼️
➡️ We voted to stop council (ie Kent’s taxpayers) funding of translation and interpretation services for non-English speaking residents. This does not apply to the use of BSL or Braille, which we will continue to fund.
➡️ From now on, people who can’t speak English but require KCC’s services, will be signposted towards free translation apps, or at their own cost, the private hire of translators/interpreters.
➡️ We believe this is a wholly reasonable position and that individual responsibility should be encouraged at every turn where KCC’s responsibility is not statutory.
