Beautiful to watch and hear, but the droppings they leave behind are frustrating many residents
North Lincolnshire Council has agreed the council tax rate for 2023/24, with Band A households to get an £18.84 yearly increase.
The Labour opposition welcomed the freeze in general taxation, though argued for the maximum 2% increase in the adult social care precept. Councillor Rob Waltham, North Lincolnshire Council leader, defended this and said that the 2% increase will still happen, but reserves will help pay for the other 0.25%.
Just under half of all North Lincolnshire’s council tax payers are in the lowest payment level Band A households, and more than two-thirds in Bands A and B. The rise for Band D households, the middle taxpaying band, will work out at £28.26 extra a year. These figures do not include extra charges asked by the fire, police, parish councils and other precepting bodies.
This financial year, the council is set to have a balanced budget, but only after an extra £5 million in reserves was dipped into midway. The Conservative-run council have planned for £19.8 million savings called “One Council Transformation Efficiencies” in 2024-2026. Labour’s budget amendment proposed around £19 million savings over the same period, as well as raising the adult social care precept by 2%.
Labour Councillor Andrea Davison replied that it was capital investments like the planned innovation hub on Scunthorpe High Street and the urban park outside the council’s HQ they were concerned with. “What was there before? Slabs” said Councillor Davison of, as she viewed it, the slab replacing project.
In immediate response, Conservative Councillor Trevor Foster attacked his opposite for not doing enough: “It’s not just a case of sitting on your backside and waiting for the council to do something about it.”
