Wirral’s Green Party has accused Council leader Janette Williamson of “deliberately painting a worst-case scenario” over a growing gap in the budget and the Conservatives accused her of playing "gesture politics."
Wirral’s political parties have been reacting to the news the council’s budget deficit has nearly quadrupled in the last year.
Councillor Tom Anderson, who leads Wirral's 24 Conservative councillors, said: “Given the well-known inflationary pressures all councils are facing up and down the country, I have no doubt the Government will address this when the settlement figures are announced in December.
