Leicestershire County Council says its budget gap is set to rise to more than £90m by 2026
The council said the budget would include £57m more to support vulnerable people - to pay for more home and residential care, and support people with physical disabilities, learning disabilities and mental health needs.
Cabinet member for finance, Lee Breckon, said: "These are tough times. Even with the proposed council tax increase, our funding is going up by less than inflation, making savings and ultimately service cuts inevitable. It's grim news to hear at any time. In one day, three of the East Midlands' biggest councils have announced a total of over 500 job losses.
Derby City Council leader Chris Poulter called it a tough decision to have to take. All councils have had diminishing income from central government over the past decade. Now they have inflation to deal with as well.
