Once again cr*p. Sloppy research.
District raised £3.5m in 1999 and now raise £5.25
Band D has gone from £148 in 1999 to £221
Both around 66%
CPI inflation is around 16% over the period.
My wage rises 2% to 3% over the period (skilled / private sector / Accy)
May wage has gone from 16,500 to 19,500 ......+18%
Gov't grant 1999 minus HRA £5.7million
Gov't grant minus Concessionary fares 2008 £9.0m
Around 65%
Elevate £45million so far
SRB, NRF, ERDF, DEFRA, CHILDRENS FUND £25million?
Council House sale £12million (saving £1m in interest to the Council per year alone) plus RTB receipts which have rocketed to over £0.6million with house price increases.
The Council that has wasted millions when you look at real figures.
PS did I mention the crises 40% budget cuts (over 3 years) to meet debts and interest payments. so we pay 66% more for 40% less... coooool
