South Holland District Council has put together a financial plan to counteract the impact of the pandemic, after being left with a £1.52million budget gap.
Councillors met virtually on Tuesday for a briefing on plans to close the budget gap, with a six fold plan of initial options, including not filling vacancies in the planning and shared management department.
Speaking during the cabinet meeting, Coun Peter Coupland, deputy leader and portfolio holder for finance, strategy and partnership, set out the plan of initial options, which have been detailed in the draft budget for 2021/22, and would mean a revised gap of £761,000.
