Birmingham council cuts services while hiking tax to balance books

Birmingham would possibly perhaps presumably boast that it’s a long way Europe’s greatest local authority, but its metropolis councillors will almost definitely be balloting tonight on whether to shrink services while hiking up council tax payments by extra than 20 per cent in the subsequent two years.

Which manner tons of of jobs are in grief together with services equivalent to libraries, road repairs, and park repairs.

And Birmingham is by no manner by myself amongst local authorities in being successfully bankrupt.
