Northamptonshire County Council backs £40m budget cuts A financially-troubled council has agreed a budget involving nearly £40m of cuts.
Protesters at the meeting called the Conservative-controlled Northamptonshire County Council a "ship that has hit the iceberg".
Councillors agreed the budget, which includes plans to shut 21 libraries and freeze staff pay, by 35 votes to 13.
The council is currently facing a government inspection into allegations of financial mismanagement.
It has emergency spending controls in place. BBC Northampton
