A general view of Council House in Birmingham, September 19, 2023
PROTESTERS and trade unionists gathered outside Birmingham Council House today to rally against cuts to services in the city as councillors met to sign off on a devastating budget.
The council plans to cut £367 million over the next two years, sacrificing services affecting children, families, libraries, youth, roads, parks and the arts.
At least 600 jobs are expected to be axed in the process.
