And it has been passed by 42 votes to 18. Council has agreed the budget #nccmeets
Newcastle Council has voted to approve a £32m cuts package at a meeting this evening.
The announcement comes as the council faces further reductions to its central government grant. £15m will be stripped from the adult social care budget, which will result in 30 full time social workers losing their jobs.
To try and close the funding gap, councillors have also approved a rise of just under 4% to council tax. For Band D households that will mean an increase of twenty six pounds a year.
