Public views are to be sought on a proposed reduction in council tax support for households across Liverpool in a bid to raise millions of pounds for its cash-strapped council.
Last week, the local authority published a raft of measures it was putting on table as it looks to fill a £73m gap in its books ahead of the new financial year. Among them are reductions in its welfare services, culture budget and potential job losses.
A comprehensive list of savings measures has been compiled by seven directorates across the city council, including a potential reduction in the support for adults of working age paying their council tax. Since 2013, Liverpool Council has held the responsibility for providing assistance to households for council tax payments.
