CRISIS-HIT Birmingham Council has disposed of more than £250m worth of 'assets' amid its financial turmoil and could still need to generate hundreds of millions more.
More than 1,000 properties and plots of land have been sold off since September 2023, the month that saw the Labour-run council alarmingly declare itself effectively bankrupt.
During the following two years, the turbulence within the authority has manifested as cuts to local services; council tax hikes and asset sales.
Figures obtained through a Freedom of Information request lay bare the scale of the council's asset sale programme in particular as it looks to overcome its financial woes.
