Public consultation on the draft budget runs until 9 February before the proposals are presented to the full council for a decision on 26 February.
In a foreword to the consultation document, the leader of the Labour-led council Jane Ashworth said the past decade had been “incredibly difficult” for Stoke-on-Trent.
She said the council was committed to “getting the basics right” and “investing in things that matter”, including in flood prevention work, enforcement against fly-tipping and bringing empty homes back into use.
“Our ambition remains to create a city that is strong, growing and works for everyone,” she said.
“We remain absolutely committed to working in partnership to drive this growth, provide opportunity, remove barriers to opportunity and build stronger, safer communities.”
