The West Sussex County Council budget proposals will be subject to a six-week public consultation.
Cabinet member for finance, Jeremy Hunt, said he was confident the authority could close the gapWest Sussex County Council has a budget gap of more than £4m to fill before February, it has been revealed.
Assuming an increase of 4.99% in April, the gap would fall to £16.2m, while cuts of £11.8m would decrease it to £4.4m. “To date, the clear message from government is that there is unlikely to be any additional funding coming our way despite the huge pressures we are facing, especially across our social care services.”
A further £1.6m will be taken from highways and transport, £1.2m from support services and economic development, £300,000 from finance and property and £200,000 each from the community support, fire and rescue and environment and climate change portfolios.The budget proposals will be examined in a six-week online public consultation, which will run from 30 October to 10 December.
