Council tax is set to rise in South Tyneside as borough leaders try to balance the books amid the impact of the pandemic
Borough bosses say the council also needs to save a further £8million in 2021/22 on top of the £175million it has already saved since 2010, which they say is due to a tight financial settlement from the Government, as well as the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic.
The proposals, detailed in the council’s Medium Term Financial Plan, most be approved by the council’s ruling cabinet of senior councillors, followed by a vote of all members at a full council meeting in February.
