![]() Council Leader Ann Shaw said: Chief Executive Steven Halls said: The Council published last week 10 tips for residents help the Council to reduce its running costs and protect frontline services. In particular, the Council is urging residents who have a computer to obtain routine information from its website rather than telephoning and also to sign up for e-newsletters. The Council reduced Council Tax by 0.5% last year and has saved £1.24M in the last two years. Full details of the Government grant, known as the Settlement, will be known by December. Councils receive an annual funding grant from the Government as well as raising funds directly through Council Tax. The District Council, together with the Parish Councils, receive 14 pence in the pound from Council Tax. The remaining 86 pence goes to Hertfordshire County Council and Hertfordshire Police Authority. From http://www.threerivers.gov.uk/Default.aspx/Web/Cuts-Council-Is-Prepared-For-Next-Two-Years |
