THE mayor of Falmouth has denied ‘rail-roading’ through the town council’s budget for next year after councillors voted to approve a 21 per cent increase to pay for a takeover of the Princess Pavilion. The accusation was made by two councillors at a full meeting of the town council on Monday night. Mayor Steve Eva proposed the council put through the budget approved unanimously at a meeting of the council’s finance and general purposes committee last week. The budget will increase the town council’s part of the council tax bill, known as its precept, by 21 per cent and will allow it to take over the Princess Pavilion and Gyllyngdune Gardens from GLL. It will equate to around £1.20 a week for a band D property.
