Worcestershire County Council is cutting major rail and road projects to save £30 million amid financial struggles.
Worcestershire County Council is cutting major rail and road projects, including a £12 million station upgrade and £1 million accessibility improvements, to save £30 million amid financial challenges.
The Reform-led council says the cuts, including a £6 million reduction in highways spending, are necessary to avoid long-term borrowing and restore fiscal stability, projecting £2 million in annual savings.
Council leaders blame past spending for the crisis and suggest Network Rail should lead station upgrades.
Opposition members call the cuts short-sighted and harmful, warning of long-term infrastructure costs and urging efficiency gains through technology and staff optimization.
The changes require final approval from the full council in November.
