Salford council is set to buy the stadium, home to Sale Sharks and the Salford Red Devils, outright
A council plan to buy the city's community stadium could hit residents in the pocket, the opposition Conservative Group has claimed.
"We've got libraries where money is not being spent and lots of other facilities around the city where they're not spending money, and yet they can find a commitment to well over £30m to spend on rugby. It will lead to more pressure on council services, and I am really concerned that there will be a huge increase in council tax."
Mr Dennett said the debt is already in the council's account as part-owners of the stadium, and that selling land around the ground for development will fund the deal.
