Shropshire Council in a “challenging position”, leader admits
Wednesday 20th October 2010, 6:05PM BST.
Shirehall leader Keith Barrow has admitted that Shropshire Council is in a “challenging position” after massive Government spending cuts were unveiled.
Chancellor George Osborne revealed details of the Comprehensive Spending Review which has allocated Government funding to its various departments from 2011 until 2014/15.
The council is looking to make savings of £60 million over the next three years.
Councillor Barrow said the authority was committed to delivering the “highest standards” of service it can afford.
But Alan Mosley, leader of the opposition Labour group, has warned the spending review proposals will devastate Shropshire’s public services.
