Councillor Asif Khan, who is chair of the Watford Labour Party, said: “There is a cost-of-living crisis now, everything has gone up - fuel, food, energy.But he laid the blame for the rise on central government and vowed to oppose any cuts HCC might suggest.
“These services are vital for the most vulnerable and the county council is now in a position where it has to raise public council tax to keep the bare minimum.”He warned: “This doesn’t preclude any cuts that may occur. We as a Labour group of the county council will oppose any cuts that come through.”
Tory councillor Richard Roberts, leader of HCC, said increasing people’s taxes has been a difficult decision because of the cost-of-living crisis.
