Labour's budget defeated. 2.9%. Conservatives passed 4.9%
A long list of Government funded announcements.
Councils Finances Long Term financial outlook poor (surviving off Govt handouts)

From our view;
• Velco fastened recycled bags are to be introduced (Labour idea taken on by Conservatives) We reduced costs from £150,000 to £38,000
• Working Mens Clubs and Cricket Clubs to receive 80% rate relief. £10,000
• Labour Councillors (independent) Neighbourhood Management projects to take over failing Area Councils

I make this point because Jaysay and AndrewB howl we don't contribute which has never been true. Again 'the race to the bottom' they try to promote.
