Consultation on Wirral Council budget options end this week

Wallasey Town Hall PUBLIC consultation on Wirral council s budget options ends this Friday. The authority needs to save around £40million next year, but has asked for permission from Government to borrow around £23.5m to help offset Covid-19 costs. This leaves £16.5m that the Council will have to find to offset its general increased costs in 2021/22. In December, Wirral s policy and resources committee agreed to consult the public on options for savings and generating extra income being put forward. Among the possible options are changes to bins collections, car parking charges and maintenance of parks and open spaces amongst many others.

Oxford City Council reviewing free meals for councillors

Oxford Town Hall. Picture Ed Nix COUNCILLORS might have to bring their own sandwiches instead of getting free meals when they meet at Oxford’s town hall next year. Oxford City Council is currently consulting on its plans for the 2021-21 budget, which includes abolishing refreshments for councillors. The council is currently served a meal when it meetings for a full council meeting, which usually happens once a month. But cabinet member for finance Ed Turner said it does not ‘feel quite right’ to continue this in the current climate. Mr Turner said: “At a time like this when we are taking some difficult decision and when our staff are going the extra mile, asking councillors to bring sandwiches to a meeting rather than have food provided by the tax payer seems like the right think to do.”
