Tens of millions of pounds of budget cuts at cash-strapped Birmingham City Council could be avoided, according to a new report.

The Audit Reform Lab research group claims a "catalogue of problems and errors" by the council, IT suppliers, auditors and the former Tory government mean the problems could have been overstated.

The council is attempting to make at least 拢300m in savings and sell off assets worth 拢750m before April 2026 after essentially declaring itself bankrupt.

The authority said it was taking responsibility for failings that had contributed to its current difficulties.
