Can Medway avoid bankruptcy?

A financial report has warned that it’s "very likely" Medway Council will face bankruptcy.

The Kent authority could face budget shortfalls of almost £40m within two years.

The Conservatives who lost control to Labour in May’s local elections have questioned increases in costs listed in the report.
Councillor Vince Maple, the Labour leader of Medway Council, has been talking to our political reporter Michael Keohan about the “tough decisions” to come.
