Council has £15m budget gap to fill despite 2.99pc council tax rise and using £11m of savings

Trafford council has a £15m budget gap going into 2022-23 financial year.

Council tax is going up and a raft of service savings are planned to ensure this gap is smaller than it otherwise would have been.

The borough’s overall budget is being increased from £179.47m to £192.57m this financial year – an uplift of £13.1m.
