Cllr Bob Rudd and Mark Cashin RESIDENTS are being asked to have their say on plans to pay more tax towards the Cheshire Fire Authority. A proposed tax precept rise of 1.99 per cent for 2021-22 could see Band D households pay £80.87 to the fire service, compared to £79.29 in 2020-21. Cllr Bob Rudd, chairman of the Cheshire Fire Authority, says the increase will help to keep residents safe in the face of funding challenges. He said: Since 2014 the Authority has not received an annual capital grant from the government and we assume that going forward the authority will receive no, or very small increases, in central government funding.
