Stockport Lib Dems propose Council Tax freeze for 2015/16

by Lib Dem team on 12 February, 2015

The budget proposals from Stockport Lib Dems, to be decided by all councillors on 26th February 2015, will include a Council Tax freeze – the fourth in five years, meaning a significant real-terms fall in council tax over that time.

The budget proposals include finding savings of more than £15 million to balance the books. However, the Lib Dems are proposing to invest more in capital projects across the borough: over £190 million to repair our roads and pavements, build new houses, start work on the A6 to Manchester Airport Relief Road, begin the Town Centre Access Package and more.

    I don’ t agree that a freeze on Council Tax is good as it results in seriously reduced services such as social care and a degraded environment for us all from reduced spending on Parks, gardens, flowerbeds et al.
