Millions of pounds of cuts and savings, plus a 4.99pc rise in council tax bills for people across Norfolk, are set to be agreed by county councillors.

Conservative-controlled Norfolk County Council will agree its budget on Tuesday (February 21), with protests set to be held outside the County Hall meeting.

Those proposals include nearly £60m of savings, including removing stops on the route of the county's mobile library service and the closure of Mayton Wood Recycling Centre near Coltishall.

Council leaders say much of the savings will be through efficiencies, including £28m from adult social care and £12.5m from children's services.

It also includes a 4.99pc increase in the share of council tax paid to the county council, which would add between £51 and £152 a year to annual bills for people across the county.

Andrew Proctor, the council's leader, has said the government should better fund councils, rather than rely on authorities increasing council tax.

The proposals also include saving £17m, through a strategic review carried out by consultants, with staff waiting to discover if their jobs will be affected.

Members of UNISON and Disabled People Against Cuts will be protesting at County Hall on Tuesday (February 21), while opposition groups have tabled budget amendments.

Labour's includes dropping plans to close the recycling centre and for a feasibility study into changing how care is overseen.

Labour group leader Steve Morphew said: "The council isn’t fit for the future. The current strategic review is costing millions to consultants to make our own staff redundant when we have more than 500 vacancies unfilled for over six months."

The Green amendment includes putting £500,000 into creating a task force to 'retrofit' homes, while independent Alexandra Kemp's proposes £2m for infrastructure improvements at the King's Lynn Ferry landing stages.
