Stockport Council is launching a three-month consultation on next year’s budget. Following last year’s £16 million savings, the Council has to find a further £13.5 million in savings this year, and to balance the budget at the end of the process.

The proposals being put forward for consultation involve losing around 160 posts, of which 50 are currently vacant.

The consultation will kick off after the proposals come to the Executive meeting on 5th September and we’ll be aiming to consult with a wide range of people.

See the story on the Stockport Council website for more information.
