Bradford City Hall LAST minute amendments to the upcoming Bradford Council budget include an extra £600,000 for street cleaning and a decision to abandoned planned cuts to youth services of £500,000. Councillors will be asked to decide on the coming year’s budget for Bradford Council on Thursday – a budget that could see a five per cent increase in the amount of tax paid by local households. If voted through, the 2021/22 budget will see a 1.99 per cent increase in Council Tax as well as a three per cent “social care surcharge” aimed at “paying towards demographic growth pressures and better pay and conditions for care workers.”
Schemes that Councils would still be able to invest in include housing and regeneration projects. At the online meeting Cllr Pollard said the ruling was intended to prevent Councils from becoming property managers, and added: In the post pandemic commercial property landscape this is very far from a sure thing in investment terms. Council Leader Susan Hinchcliffe replied: It changed how Councils can invest in commercial property. Other Councils are a lot more prolific when it comes to this. It is your Government who think the One City Park Scheme is a good one, that is why they are investing in it. They believe in it and think it is the right thing to do for the District.

The Prime Minister insisted the Government “did everything that we could to minimise suffering and minimise loss of life in this country as a result of the pandemic”.
But he faced questions over why, when in April last year 20,000 deaths was described by the Government s chief science adviser, Sir Patrick Vallance as “a good outcome”, the grim figure now stood at five times this.
Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer called the milestone a “national tragedy”.

He said: “We must never become numb to these numbers or treat them as just statistics. Every death is a loved one, a friend, a neighbour, a partner or a colleague. It is an empty chair at the dinner table.”
