The council leader said the system for funding town halls is 'broken'
Stockport council leader Mark Hunter has warned residents to expect service cuts as the town hall faces "unprecedented" pressure on its finances.
While Stockport council is not facing bankruptcy, Mr Hunter said the current way of financing local government is "broken" and "not sustainable going forward." In June, the council revealed it had seen a surge in the numbers of people turning up at risk of becoming homeless, a situation that has piled pressure on budgets.
Coun Jilly Julian, Stockport's finance lead, said these pressures are not unique to the borough, but social care reform could make "an enormous difference" to the town hall's finances.
