Council tax increases, £16m of service cuts and an extra 211 new jobs have been approved as Leeds City Council passes its mixed bag of a budget for the coming year.
The plans confirm that, although the budget is set to increase by £86.7m on last year, around £16.5m of cuts still needed to be made to services due to spiralling costs.
According to latest proposals, the authority will have to shed 19 full time equivalent job posts, but will create 211 new FTE jobs.
