I am gutted.
No, they're very often funded from some European "inclusion" pot, or other such money. Not from council tax or the central government grant.

The cuts will be in frontline services, and frontline staff. The quality of the services provided will go down hill, which will in turn lead to resentment from the tax paying public.

Discretionary services will be dropped completely, and statutory services will be trimmed to the bone.
