Sefton Council’s budget proposals have cleared their first hurdle as losses at Bootle Strand were questioned.
At a meeting of the local authority’s overview and scrutiny committee at Bootle Town Hall councillors heard how “exceptional pressures” had led the council to propose cuts to some services.
With areas including energy costs, home-to-school transport, children’s services and adult social care creating huge demands on the borough’s budget, Sefton Council has proposed a raft of measures to plug a funding gap for the next financial year.
