The leader of Northumberland County Council has said he stands by the national park authority after it revealed it was struggling financially due to Government funding cuts.
Northumberland National Park has said it could be forced to make sweeping cuts to services after the Government said its grant would remain frozen until 2025 - and has already not been increased since 2019.
With inflation and the resultant salary increases needed, this means the park is facing a real-terms cut of 56% between 2010 and 2019.
