Bedlington councillors have criticised the leader of Northumberland County Council after he suggested the town would not be receiving any major funding in the year's upcoming budget.
Coun Glen Sanderson was grilled on the looming budget at Tuesday's meeting of the Cramlington, Bedlington and Seaton Valley local area council.
Coun Sanderson and his deputy, Coun Richard Wearmouth, have been attending each of the county's five local area councils to present a "state of the county" report ahead of the unveiling of the budget next year.
