Why don't you cut the budget for the swish Xmas decorations in Exeter high street and leave essential services like this alone! The potential high cost to the NHS for treating beaten women/children could be avoided if these cuts were revoked. Whoever implements these cuts will have blood on their hands. Shameful.

In a misguided effort to control budgets for the economy, the most vulnerable in society will be immensely harmed. Ask yourself one question - where have cuts worked in the past to achieve economic growth? If you can find that precedent, cut. If not, reconsider. The women and children at risk need you. Causing harm through failure to study history is inexcusable

The cost of domestic abuse, if not worked with, will in the long run be far more expensive; in terms of lives of women and children damaged, demands on other services, such as police, health, schools etc. It is appalling that the most vulnerable in our communities should be losing this support.

I experienced emotional, financial and psychological abuse for 19 years before being helped by outreach and pattern changing services from Exeter Women's Aid in 2007.

I owe my freedom and restored mental health to ADVA - what if I had needed them now?
