Back to EpisodesLeicester Council Faces Backlash Over Tax Hike
Description
Leicester City Councils proposed four point nine nine percent council tax hike is facing criticism, with opposition Conservatives suggesting a smaller four point four nine percent increase. The Conservatives aim to redirect £350,000 from a museum makeover to address issues like fly-tipping, flooding, and parking. The council received a surprise £40 million grant, creating a £2.3 million surplus, but UNISON urges leaders to use this cash to avoid planned service cuts. Councillors will debate and vote on the budget tomorrow, deciding between the max increase or a leaner option focused on everyday needs.
