Sefton Council is planning to raise car park charges in the borough and further increase council tax as part of a raft of measures to balance next year’s budget.
The proposals, which were released ahead of a Sefton Council budget meeting due to take place next Tuesday, February 7, also include vacancy freezes, pension reviews and building closures.
Council tax is expected to increase by the maximum amount to help balance the council’s books, with the report detailing how a 2.99% rise could generate £4.5m, with a further 2% rise in the adult social care precept adding over £3m to the council’s coffers.
