Liverpool City Council has detailed how it intends to make £91m of savings over the coming year.
It is set to cut half of its senior management posts, saving £4.5m, and reduce the budgets for children's services and adult social care.
It hopes it can reduce predicted job losses from 1,500 to about 1,200. Council leader Joe Anderson said it had tried to protect frontline services but the scale of the cuts meant "real pain" would be felt in some communities.
The Labour-run council said it had released its reserves of £13m to ease the level of cuts required in the coming year.
