00:00Liverpool City Council says it must cut more than £50 million from its budget next financial year.
00:07New papers show savings of £56.7 million are planned, rising to more than £101 million by 2028.
00:16Finance Director Ian Williams told councillors the sum represents around 7% of the authority's gross budget.
00:23The council is also proposing a council tax rise of almost 5%, which it expects could raise £19 million.
00:31Opposition members say residents face pressure, while the council says demand and long-term debt costs leave limited choices.
00:39Executive members will consider the proposals next week for approval.
