On this one, as I was covering local government for the Guardian at the time, I can certainly say I did warn you.
New research from the IFS showing the closure of youth centres during the 2010s was shortsighted. For every £1 saved, the costs to affected users, crime victims and public spending in the police and the criminal justice system amount to £2.85
