VIDEO: Budget 'will prioritise Rotherham's most vulnerable'

ROTHERHAM'S ongoing financial challenge will see the borough council make £20.4 million of cuts in 2011/12.
 

Councillors have promised they will support frontline services by keeping the 'back-office' functions as lean as possible.

The council's budget will be £213.290 million and council tax will be frozen.

Leader Cllr Roger Stone said the authority's strategy was to adopt a "calm and measured" approach rather than knee-jerk reactions.

He added: "Our aim all along has been to protect services, not council structures, which is in line with what the people of Rotherham themselves have told us."
