Even more staff cuts and tax hikes are being proposed as Nottingham City Council looks to bridge a £32m budget gap. The Labour-run authority will present a new budget and medium term financial plan next week.
It sets out targets for the next four years, and will be discussed at an Executive Board meeting on Tuesday, December 20. In a bid to make savings to fill £29m of the hole the council is proposing a raft of further measures.
These include the axing of 110 full-time equivalent job posts, a five per cent tax rise and an end to the collecting of household bins which have been put out on the wrong days. The measures come on top of previously-announced changes to children’s centres, youth services and applying charges to parking permits and bulky waste collections.
