Northamptonshire County Council: Plan to save £55m unveiled

Northamptonshire County Council: Plan to save £55m unveiled A council plans to cut spending on agency staff and highways services, while boosting tax receipts, to tackle a £65m funding shortfall.

The "stabilisation plan" published by Northamptonshire County Council aims to save an additional £20m in 2018-19, on top of £45m in cuts already planned.

Government-appointed commissioners have been brought in to oversee the council, which has twice banned new spending.

Council leader Matt Golby said the authority faced "unprecedented times".

Plans to slash £35m had already been announced in the initial budget passed for this year. BBC Northampton
