Town hall 'doesn't need bail out'
Manchester Evening News|December 02, 2024
A TOWN hall with budget gap of £3.4m insists it is 'nowhere near' in need of a government bailout.

Although recent finance papers suggest Rochdale council would be in the red at the end of the financial year, there is a contingency budget in place to deal with it.

Due to overspends, particularly in children's services and integrated care, the council is projected to be £3.4m out of pocket by April 2025.
