Telford councillors to thrash out spending cuts
Tuesday 11th January 2011, 11:55AM GMT.
Ruling councillors in Telford & Wrekin meet tonight to start thrashing out spending cuts needed to meet a fall of almost £19 million in Government funding over the next two years.
The borough’s Tory administration is proposing slashing £15 million off spending but the Labour opposition has lambasted the plan.
More street lights will be left off overnight in Telford and concessionary travel schemes will be trimmed.
