A number of key Liverpool council services could be axed or dramatically changed as the local authority attempts to bridge a huge gap in its budget for next year.
In November, proposals were first published on how Liverpool City Council would look to plug a £73m funding gap after another round of central Government punishing cuts. The latest cost savings will mean that more than half a billion pounds has been taken away from the council’s coffers since 2010.
Since the proposals were first outlined - which included a potential hike in council tax, increasing fees and charges as well as a review of its libraries and fitness centres - a number of public consultations have been launched as the Cunard authority looks for some input on areas it can cut from.
