Northumberland County Council's finance chief has said the authority looks set to avoid the "worst case scenario" in terms of finances for the coming year as the latest budget looms.
The council is due to set out its financial plans for the next 12 months in the early months of 2023.
However, local authorities up and down the country are yet to find out how much they will receive from central Government, with an announcement expected before the end of the month.
