Ilford Town Hall and Ilford High Street 21/5/14 EL77212 2. Redbridge Council has identified more than £9 million in savings for its next budget - around £16 million short of the amount needed. The proposals to be discussed by the council s cabinet tonight include a council tax increase of 4.99 per cent, including 3 per cent for adult social care, the maximum rise possible without a referendum. Cabinet member for finance Cllr Kam Rai said at an overview committee meeting last night that “it appears the vast majority of London councils will be doing similar increases” He also said most of the savings the council was planning to make would be achieved by “being more efficient or through income generation”, rather than getting rid of services.
