We certainly won't be cutting corners Gayle. Truthfully if I knew the answer to your question I would tell you.
I have seen a lot of figures banded about, but setting a budget is ongoing process both within the council and the various political groups.
The aim will be to keep the overall increase down to as low as possible, whist maintaing services and also funding Labour priorities.
