There are warnings some council services across Leicestershire could be cut back as the authority deals with a multi million pound funding shortfall.

Council officials say Leicestershire is the lowest funded county authority in the country, and warn that without help from the Government there'll be at least a hundred-million-pound gap in finances which must be closed by the end of the decade.

Cabinet member for finance Councillor Lee Breckon has been speaking with 大象传媒 Radio Leicester's Ellis Maddison.

The government says it'll 'fix the foundations of local government and work closely with the sector, to get councils back on their feet'.
