LEEDS CITY COUNCIL FACES SEVERE FINACIAL DIFFICULTIES

“In Leeds the reductions equate to a real-terms decrease in funding of £465.9m or 70 per cent over those fifteen years.

Whilst we’ve made significant savings already of £730.2million, including reducing the council’s workforce by nearly a fifth, we need to find a further £63.9million of savings this year and then in addition to that over £273million more across the next five years.

It is an incredibly difficult situation.”
