Top Cheshire West councillors clash over budget feasibility

Rishi Sunak unveiled his spending plans and post-Covid recovery blueprint for the UK on Wednesday (March 3). Now, Labour cabinet member for finance, Cllr Carol Gahan, and Conservative shadow finance cabinet member Cllr Neil Sullivan have clashed over how feasible the plans are. Cllr Gahan told the Local Democracy Reporting Service: “I am pleased they are seeking to support more self-employed people and continue the grants because I believe that we need that but we also need a stimulus and not enough is on that support for businesses. I think there are some gaps that need to be addressed. “The tax allowance freeze I think is bearable only in the short term because it does need to move with inflation because it is [hard] on the lowest earnings.

Chancellor must address social care issue, councillor says

Social care is one of the largest areas of expense for the council IT is ‘disappointing’ that Rishi Sunak’s 2021 budget does not ‘address social care’, according to Cheshire West and Chester Council’s cabinet member for finance. Mr Sunak, Chancellor, unveiled his spending plans and post-Covid recovery blueprint for the UK on Wednesday (March 3). Cllr Carol Gahan, Labour, added that the government needed to ‘pay attention’ to the issue, which her party said last week was one cause for a 4.99 per cent council tax rise although her opposite number said the council should spend its funds better to avoid such rises.
