LABOUR councillors in Liverpool have been suspended from the party for opposing huge spending cuts in the council’s proposed budget.
Their suspension followed a declaration by Cllrs Alan Gibbons, Alison Clarke, Alfie Hincks, Rona Heron, Joanne Calvert and Lindsay Melia that they would vote against £10.7 million in cuts — including in social care, the council’s biggest area of spending.
The budget includes the introduction of charges for green bin waste collection and a maximum council tax rise of 2.99 per cent.
