Manchester City Council to review Saville's creative director role
Manchester City Council has confirmed that it is reviewing Peter Saville's role as Manchester's creative director as it tries to find £110m worth of savings.
Last week the council announced sweeping cuts affecting almost all departments - including its communications team - after having its budget slashed by government.
Now it is considering whether Saville's £120,000-a-year post should also be culled.
The esteemed designer, who made his name with his record sleeves and posters for Factory Records, has worked with the council as a consultant since 2004.
The final budget will be announced on 9 March.
