3.9%

Last night Tandridge District Council adopted a budget for the next tax year will deliver improvements to front line services for only a 3.9% increase to taxpayers. This lower than inflation increase is despite receiving an increase of only 0.6% in our central government grant.

Services will be Greener, with more money for recycling; Cleaner, with more money for streetsweeping and pest control and be provided more cheaply than if the Liveral Democrats had been incontol. Under their plans they would have had to increased the money spent on administrative overheads (or alternatively cut work on Front Line Services).
