There will, however, be an increase in the amount collected for adult social care. Telford
A freeze on general council tax has been agreed by a council's cabinet – although there will be an increase in the amount collected for adult social care.Telford & Wrekin Council's cabinet agreed the proposal at its latest meeting
Councillor Evans had earlier told the cabinet how increasing costs in social care for vulnerable adults and children were leading to a predictions of the council being £4.6m over budget for the year – a move she said would be addressed using the"majority of budget contingencies". She said:"Like many other councils we have experienced significant pressures arising from increased costs and increasing demands for services, particularly those we deliver for the most vulnerable adults and children in our borough.
"The government decision to increase council tax rises to five per cent is a continuation of shifting the burden of funding local government services to our council tax payers, regardless of their ability to fund these increases.
