In an a age when one fifth of council tax goes to pay council officers pensions and even more on inflated staff salaries, some might be cross to learn of the latest council tax rise. Labour’s Kevin Wilson said it would be irresponsible to vote down last Tuesday’s Liberal budget. Cllr Wilson said that the council was wasting millions and ignoring the city’s most deprived people.
MK council has made a particular mess of the school build budget, wasting thousands of hard-earned taxpayer’s money. Tory Andrew Geary said that the budget did nothing to control council costs, which were rising out of control while important services were being cut.
