- Increase the charge for meals on wheels (£50,000 over three years)

- Stop the street litter recycling service (£168,000 over three years)

- Replace parking machines with a pay-over-the-phone system (£200,000 over three years)

- Reduce the size of the council's corporate estate - such as council offices (£1,000,000 over three years)
