CUTS to Derbyshire's mobile library service, children centre's and council-funded buses have today been confirmed.

Cabinet members rubber-stamped a string of cost-cutting proposals at a meeting at County Hall, Matlock, this morning.

Decisions include:

- Axing eight out of ten mobile libraries

- Closing two children centres (Duffield and Ashbourne)

- Stopping funding for community transport schemes, including the Dial-A-Bus service

The Labour cabinet members blamed Government-imposed cuts to council budgets.

Councillor Dave Allen called it a "sad day".
