An extra £1.5 million is set to be added to the council tax support scheme for 2022/23, which is expected to reduce bills for 7,000 eligible households “with most of those seeing their bill reduced to nil”. At the council meeting the leader of the opposition, Green Cllr Jonathan Bartley, reiterated his concerns that the added support would not come into effect until 2022/23 and that the council plans to raise funds through enforcement. Cllr Andy Wilson, cabinet member for finance and performance, previously said there is a precedent for having to go through a long consultation before the extra support is introduced. But he said between now and the outcome of the consultation the council is putting forward funding to “essentially create the same amount of relief for residents as they would receive under the new council tax support scheme”.
Lawsuit alleges officers harassed and assaulted 5-year-old kindergartner
Two Maryland police officers have been accused of screaming at, grabbing and threatening a 5-year-old elementary school student.
The boy’s mother, Shanta Grant, filed a lawsuit this month against Montgomery County Police Officers Dionne Holliday and Kevin Christmon as well as Montgomery County and the Montgomery County Board of Education.
The Montgomery County Department of Police told CNN it does not comment on ongoing or pending litigation. CNN was not able to reach Officer Holliday. Officer Christmon declined to comment to CNN.
The case comes amid public pressure for widespread change in policing policy following high-profile police encounters some involving the treatment of children by law enforcement. The broader outcry has included calls to defund or abolish police departments.
