flag Worcestershire County Council seeks £71.9M in emergency funds and a 9.99% tax rise to avoid insolvency amid a £72M budget gap.

flag Worcestershire County Council faces a £72 million budget shortfall for 2026/27, prompting plans to seek up to £71.9 million in emergency government funding and raise council tax by up to 9.99%. flag The council has already used £12.5 million from reserves and received £33.6 million in emergency support last year. flag Despite identifying £9.1 million in savings, including cuts to consultants and leasing office space, officials warn of continued reliance on emergency aid and the potential for a Section 114 notice—signaling financial insolvency—if support is denied.
