Town hall proposing to increase council tax by 3.99pc as it prepares to make nearly £30m of cuts
Proposals to increase council tax by 3.99pc from April amid nearly £30m of cuts have been unveiled by Oldham chiefs.
The 3.99 pc rise will see ‘average’ households pay around 92p more a week, before Mayoral and police precepts are added on top. The details of the areas to be cut are yet to be published, but will be considered by the cabinet when it discusses the full budget papers next month.Oldham council says the savings were less than anticipated with it receiving around £7m more in government funding than the previous year, approximately a three per cent rise.
“The extra money raised will be used to support those who are struggling and to boost social care. Increased support for social care will also help relieve pressure on the NHS.
