The leader of Northumberland County Council's opposition Labour group has called on the Conservative-led administration at County Hall to put its recent budget underspend towards helping the county's most vulnerable.
Coun Scott Dickinson's comments came after the council reported an underspend of £2.1m on its budget for the last financial year.
In September, there had been fears the council was facing a significant overspend due to inflationary pressures - and Coun Dickinson claimed services had been slashed to improve those figures.
