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.
Councillors vented their frustrations over continued delays at Gorey Town Park during last week s meeting of Gorey-Kilmuckridge Municipal District.
Sean Meyler from Special Projects gave an update on the town park and said that when work shut down due to level five restrictions, the contractor was two months away from substantial completion.
He said that he didn t know what impact the current lockdown was going to have on the efficiencies of the construction sector, but that when the contractor started back on site in May of last year, it took them a couple of weeks to find their feet again because of issues of supply and subcontractor availability. He also said that he suspects they will return to the site on Monday, March 8, but that unfortunately the bulb planting season has now been missed.
