Islington's Labour council has spent £235,000 on launching a new look for its website. The news follows the council's budget meeting in February when £30million of cuts were agreed and 140 staff will lose their jobs.

Other figures obtained recently by the Liberal Democrats also show the council has so far spent £25,000 on 'branding' for the council's new housing management service and expects to spend more in the coming months. The council also plans to re-launch its residents' magazine.

Scores of Islington residents have had their safety put at risk following a major data leak by the Labour-run council.

The massive blunder came to light when residents from the Andover Estate contacted local Liberal Democrats. Residents had suffered months of anti-social behaviour and more than 50 residents came forward to help the council serve injunctions on 13 individuals. In a major breach of date protection regulations, the council attached the personal details of all these residents to the injunctions.

• A personal allowance of £9,205 in April 2013
• 21 million working people getting an extra £220 tax cut
• Brings the total tax cut for basic rate tax payers to £550
• Brings the total number of people lifted out of tax to 2 million.

Liberal Democrat Leader Nick Clegg used his speech to the Party's Spring conference in NewcastleGateshead to call for the forthcoming budget to be a "budget for fairness" and pledged that it would help working familes.
