Episode Details

Leicestershire County Council approves a council tax increase of 2.99%, marking the first time in a decade that taxpayers wont face the maximum allowed rise. The Reform UK-led authority, running as a minority administration, hails this as proof of their quick impact on the first budget. The budget includes additional funds for services and savings, but Conservative opposition members reluctantly supported it, while Liberal Democrats, Labour, and Greens abstained. Green councillor Naomi Bottomley expressed concern about potential service cuts for vulnerable people. The council warned of an 85 million pound spending gap in four years. Reform UK plans to freeze the council tax share eventually and has hired consultants for an efficiency review.
