A further £18.2million is set to be slashed from the budget by the Labour-led council. This would bring another 140 job losses – with 42 compulsory redundancies – and more cuts in vital front line services, including the scaling back of library opening hours and raising of childcare fees. Education, youth centres and elderly facilities are amongst other vital public services under threat.
