Birmingham City Council has approved a 9.99% rise in council tax and a budget containing plans for “unprecedented” cuts to services.
More than 50 Labour councillors voted through a 2024/25 budget described by the city’s Conservative group leader as “a double whammy of higher taxes and fewer services”.
A five-hour council meeting on Tuesday was told £300 million of cuts over two years, including to library services, were needed to secure £1.255 billion in exceptional financial support loans from central government.
