Birmingham City Council: Frustration over 'bankrupt' authority
Residents have expressed disappointment over huge cuts to local authority services.
Birmingham City Council is attempting to fill a £300m budget shortfall over the next two years after declaring itself bankrupt in September.
Dramatic measures include a 21% council tax rise and a £1.25bn sell off of assets to repay a government bailout loan.
Bosses also face equal pay claims of up to £760m and an £80m overspend on an under-fire IT system.
