Cost-cutting budget proposals by Wyre Forest District Council include selling Wyre Forest House in Kidderminster RADICAL cost-saving plans to plug a £2.7 million funding gap in Wyre Forest District Council s budget left in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic are set to be finalised next week. Cabinet members will discuss the final proposals for the Medium Term Financial Strategy, which includes increasing council tax, sharing services with other councils and selling all or parts of its headquarters at Wyre Forest House, on Tuesday, February 9. The Progressive Alliance-led council says the plans are challenging but achievable , however opposition members from the Conservative Group say the budget proposals lack ambition and will mean a reduction in services to residents.
