They have many options that you can bet they are already crunching the numbers on to find the increases they need. All this while reducing what they have to spend it on but ensuring that there heads of dept salaries are maintained or increased. Councils are a law unto themselves
Most councils have already done all the things you mention. The cuts actually go far deeper than that as I mentioned earlier.
