The largest proportion of savings outlined in the draft budget will come from adult social care and children’s services.
Andrew Stringer, the leader of the Green, Liberal Democrat and Independent group at the authority, said: “Again we are facing tax rises with services being trimmed to the bone.
“This broken model of financing local government — it directly puts filling potholes up against adult social care.”
Sandy Martin, Labour group leader and former MP for Ipswich, said “money for local government is still very tight and we would like there to be more”.
“It is interesting that local government is now better off, but because the Conservatives starved the poorer parts of the country it is natural Suffolk won’t be getting as much some other areas,” he added.
The final decision on whether council tax will go up, will be made in February at a full council meeting.
