Service cuts and job losses are on the cards as Wirral Council continues to deal with a large budget gap for next year.
The latest projections for the council’s deficit in 2023 is £38m, down from previous projections in October it could be more than £49m.
Those projections were based on a worst-case scenario for the council at the time. Council officers said things could improve but it would be better to “prepare for the worst but hope for the best.”
