Andrew Jamieson, deputy leader at County Hall, said the changes introduced by Rachel Reeves, the chancellor, meant the council was edging ever nearer to being able to only offer services it is bound by law to provide, like social care and road maintenance.

This puts at risk all spending on things like adult education and museums and could trigger more cost-cutting measures at recycling centres and libraries.
