Northumbria Police are feeling the pinch as the cost of living crisis continues to spiral, councillors have been warned.
Councillors from across the region gathered in Gateshead on Tuesday to hear the state of policing finances are and how the force could cope over the next four years.
One major concern was around the price of fuel. According to the police and crime commissioner’s newly appointed chief financial officer , Kevin Lang, Northumbria Police use 1.3 million litres of fuel a year.
