Liverpool Council is facing further cuts of £73 million next year as the city's Mayor says the local authority is in a "dreadful" financial position.
Mayor Joanne Anderson and her cabinet met with the city's ruling Labour group and presented them with the grim budget options that have been worked up by council officers.
The cuts the council will have to find next year will take the amount that has been hacked away from the city's central government funding since 2010 past the £500m mark.
