The budget was carried during a full council meeting, on Wednesday, February 24. Among its recommendations, which have now been approved, is a 1.99 per cent hike in basic council tax from April, together with a two per cent increase in the Adult Social Care Precept to support elderly and vulnerable people. Council leader Cllr Martin Tett previously said this budget is “focussed almost entirely on getting us through the next year and hopefully then to more predictable times”.
As part of the budget, more than £2 million will be used to cover “significant” income loss across services and pressures in children’s services.
