Another Promise Made, But Could This Be Another Promise Broken?

The coalition Government has only been in power for a few months, just over six months to be quite frank. One promise I thought that they hold on to, was that on education and in particular "Sure Start Centres" funding being safe, however as the money is given to local authorities to fund such centres, there is no ring fencing, so it's up to the L.A. to decide where it goes. Hence the article in today's Daily Mirror where Hammersmith and Fulham council, a Tory Flagship Council, are closing down nine of the fifteen centres in that borough. Is this to be just the tip of the iceberg, I wonder?
