Chancellor Jeremy Hunt is expected to announce tax cuts in Wednesday’s Budget, with suggestions that national insurance could be cut by 2p.
Downing Street has also denied implications that Mr Hunt is “timid and lacking imagination,” and rejected the notion that the Prime Minister is a “backseat driver” to the budget.
Among other measure Hunt is alleged to be considering is the removal of non-dom tax status and proposals for a new duty on vaping.
Meanwhile, £67m will be used to build up to 1,300 new homes in Furnace Hill and Neepsend as part of Sheffield’s Levelling Up fund.
However, the announcement has been met with a mixed reaction, as residents said they need other community essentials like parks, shops and pharmacies.
