A council tax rise of at least £50 is planned for all households
Opposition parties have accused Nottinghamshire County Council of showing a 'failure of leadership' by proposing a tax rise of at least £50 for all households. Ben Bradley MP, the leader of the Conservative-controlled authority, said that the council is planning a tax increase of 4.84% for the next financial year, starting in April.
But Councillor Kate Foale, who leads the Labour Party at the county council, said: "After a decade of austerity and £300 million pounds of cuts to the county council's budget, we still have no plan from Government on how to properly fund local public services like social care, and this council tax rise will not fix the problems that has created. At County Hall the Conservatives have a choice.
In response to the problems caused by reduced Government funding, Mr Bradley said: "If you go back 2010 to 2015 it's no secret that local government funding reduced very significantly and that was the reason that budgets were very difficult at that time. But in recent years that hasn't been the case, the local government settlement was more generous than we expected.
"It's not about government funding, it's about the way we deliver our services. We're trying to prioritise key services, we're trying to get out of some costs and that is what will make us viable and sustainable."
