(SBC) eyes multiple opportunities to address its financial “woes” caused by Covid-19. Residents could see their council tax bill raised by two per cent next year with an increase of the adult social care precept by three per cent, totalling five per cent. This is the maximum permitted without going to a referendum. According to the medium-term financial strategy 2021/22 – 2023/24, some of the proposed savings that could be added into the final budget in February include reducing agency staff spend, closing Chalvey Household Waste and Recycling Centre on Wednesdays and Thursdays, a “change of offer” from multiple libraries, stopping green waste for three months, and more.
