Leeds Council waiting to see how much Government support it will get to help fill financial black hole
Leeds Civic Hall. LEEDS City Council will find out tomorrow how much extra money it will be given next year by Government to help plug huge Covid-19 spending shortfalls, the leader of the authority has claimed. It was also claimed by a senior member that recent plans to make more than 900 staff redundant and significantly reduce services next year would still not plug the expected £118m funding shortfall next year. The leader of the council’s opposition Conservative group welcomed the expected announcement, adding “painful” decisions must be made at all levels of government.
