Northumberland County Council's Conservative administration has proposed a budget for the coming year including a rise in council tax.
The financial plans for the next 12 months, which include a 4.62% rise in council tax and £17m in cuts, still need to be scrutinised and agreed by all 67 members of the council.
That process is set to take place over the next two weeks, with all councillors are set to have their say across three separate meetings.
