East Sussex councillors agree to cuts of £60m
East Sussex County Council has frozen council tax for the third year in a row but agreed to further budget cuts of £60m over three years.
Deputy Leader Keith Glazier said: “We are in the same boat as every council in the UK in terms of having to make some very tough choices on our revenue budget.
“Our plans to save £60m over the next three years will mean changes and reductions in some services and more job losses.
“We are clear though that we’ll do our very best to mitigate any cuts and protect our key frontline services.” Protestors gathered outside county hall to show their opposition to any more savings which they say will hit the most vulnerable people in the community.
