Date Added: 21/01/2019
Have your say on council spending plans, savings and council tax
Take part in the consultation by 5pm on 29 January, 2019
With increasing demand on services and reduced funding from the Government the council is proposing to:
• continue to find ways to reduce spending by £14.8million through a range of saving measures, and
• increase council tax by 1% to contribute towards funding services, that’s 29p extra a week for an average (Band D) property
Taken together these measures would allow the council to cover the gap in funding it faces and provide the services we need.
