Monday afternoon at 2pm the Full Council sat to review and hopefully approve a budget. The ruling Labour Group were proposing a 3.8% increase. We did not agree, they won the day with the backing of Lib/Dems and Independents and the people of the district will pick up the bill.
We tabled an alternative where funds were taken from reserves to underwrite the budget proposal which would have reduced the bill to a 1.8% increase, our view is that reserves are for a difficult times and we knew of initiatives under way that would recover the monies used.
