Northamptonshire councillors to dig deep into county budget but admit it looks ‘better than previous years’

Northamptonshire councillors to dig deep into county budget but admit it looks ‘better than previous years’ A committee tasked with scrutinising the county council’s budget has said that it appears to be ‘more robust’ than in recent years – but that they would still be digging deep into it.

Last week saw Northamptonshire County Council unveil its draft budget for the 2020/21 financial year. It includes £23 million of cuts to department services – the bulk of which is in adult social services – and proposes a council tax increase of 3.99 per cent inclusive of a social care precept.
