Chaos broke out at a Tameside council meeting as councillors were heckled by protesters as they confirmed cuts and an increased council tax bill.

The 4.99 per cent council tax increase was approved at the March 5 meeting. Alongside the tax rise, Tameside Council balanced their books by making 'spending reductions' which council leader Gerald Cooney admitted would be looked at as cuts to the everyday residents.

He went on to highlight to Guardsman Tony Downes House in Droylsden that the total cumulative spending cuts since 2010/11 now stands at £215 million, with a further £70 million being currently forecast as necessary to deliver a balanced budget each year to 2028/29.

The protesters were referenced a number of times by councillors who couldn't hear what was going on. The planned town hall savings include cuts to adults, children's and corporate services, with £2.2m, £4.1m and £3.7m savings planned in each of those departments.
