The proposals
For a long time, we have been open and transparent that Coventry City Council - like many other local authorities of all political colours across the country - are facing severe financial challenges.
This includes high inflation and social care costs which have been building for years. As a result, we needed to take a long look at our services and have identified places where we have to make cuts.
Key savings proposals being considered include:
- A savings target across senior management posts
- Savings across adults’ and children’s social care
- Reductions in cleansing services
- Reductions in parks services
- Charging at the War Memorial Park car park
- Removing the Community Support Grant for one year, offset by the extended Household Support Grant
- Reducing Council Tax support discount from 80% to 75%
- Reducing the number of portacabins set up at elections
- Reducing voluntary sector contributions
