Haringey's finance officers are predicting the council budget will suffer cuts in the region of £60m between 2010/11 and 2013/14.
Council leader, Claire Kober said: "People will continue to come first in Haringey as the Council works hard to counter these cuts. That means not only making efficiency savings but also innovating the way we deliver services. We must look for every opportunity to cut costs and waste."
Officers have already been tasked with quickly developing a robust efficiency programme - including a review of all support functions and investigating sharing back office and administrative functions - in a bid to protect the services that matter most to residents.
In the meantime, and to help meet the challenge of in-year government cuts, only essential job vacancies will be filled and any uncommitted spending from the Area Based Grant will be reviewed after a cut from the council's allocation.
