Lewisham Council will save over 15,000 by eliminating the vacant driver position for Mayor Brenda Dacres as part of a 25 million budget reduction plan.
The council's budget savings report indicates that by the end of 2025/26, reserves could be depleted by 40 to 50 million, significantly impacting future finances.
Lewisham's budget cuts include critical areas like youth services and ward assemblies, reflecting widespread financial pressure faced by many councils, particularly with rising accommodation costs.
Despite implementing cost-cutting measures, the council will still rely on reserves to set a balanced budget, highlighting the ongoing financial challenges in local governance.
