A crunch meeting will determine whether a raft of controversial budget cuts get the go ahead.

As Wrexham Council looks to slash £13 million from its budget over the next two years, all members will meet at the Guildhall to decide whether to approve proposals put forward by the executive board.

Among the contentious measures which could be adopted if the budget gets the go ahead are plans to bring in charges for disabled parking.

There would also be car parking charges introduced in country parks and £100,000 slashed by cutting the number of park rangers and use the Streetscene service to help keep country parks across the county clean.

Council leader Cllr Mark Pritchard warned people there were "no sacred cows" ahead of a public consultation into the budget and said it was likely tough times would continue for local authorities in the future.

But some of the proposals have been met with heavy opposition, with petitions and protests being held against what is being put forward.

An alternative budget has been launched by the council's opposition Labour group in a bid to mitigate some of the impact on services.

The Labour group's proposed budget for 2018/19 includes an extra £851,800 in spending met by a reduction in executive board membership and minimum revenue provision saving.

The group, led by Ruabon councillor Dana Davies, is also suggesting a £70,447 music service uplift, a £500,000 secondary school budget increase, a £94,353 supported public transport fund and £65,000 for children’s social care funding.

They are also proposing to limit cuts to the parks service to £50,000, instead of the mooted £100,000.

The alternative budget proposes to match £820,000 of the overspend from the council’s reserves.

Organisations across the county have voiced their fears about the impact the cuts would have on them.

Friends of Bellevue Park chair Barbara Jones said events at the park in the heart of Wrexham were under threat, and anti-social behaviour could increase, if the “devastating” park service cuts go ahead.

Llay Utd YFC secretary Dave Adams warned the club could be forced to leave the village if parking charges are introduced at Alyn Waters Country Park.

Following representations from more than 3,700 members of the public, as well as scrutiny by councillors, a number of the more controversial suggestions had been altered or axed completely.

The authority had been looking to chop its peripatetic school music service – to the tune of a £300,000 saving.

Now it is proposed to continue providing £50,000 in funding for the service on a means-tested basis, allowing children from families struggling financially to continue to access it.

It had also been suggested to withdraw funding for PCSOs over the two-year period.

Instead, the authority now plans to halve the funding it provides to £140,000 between 2018-2020.

Plans to cut £4 per day wage payments to vulnerable people attending day and work opportunities, which would have saved £26,000, were also shelved.

Proposals to implement a standstill budget for schools across the county were scrapped, with a 1.48 per cent increase in its place.

It is also proposed to increase council tax 3.9 per cent, which would take the council tax for an average Band D property to £1,093.01, if approved.

The meeting will be held at the Guildhall from 4pm today.
