The District Council has a big budget next Tuesday 9th February, at 7:30. We received the agenda today, so there’s a lot of reading to do, and we will write in more detail later. But two things immediately stand out in the proposals from the Conservative administration:
District Council Tax is proposed to rise by 1.93%
It is proposed that some car park charges will rise. For example the 1/2 hour charge in the main shopping car parks will rise from 50p to 60p, and the 1 hour charge from ?1.00 to ?1.20. Saturday afternoons will stay free. However charges will continue in weekday evenings until 9 pm (instead of 7 pm at present). This could have an impact on restaurants and take-aways…
As we said above, we will write more late. George Osbourne is giving councils a very hard time at the moment…

Another hidden tax increase as George foists central government responsibilities onto the local authories. Sounded really good at the general election though. Again this hits the poorer much harder than the rich. Tory business as usual.
