All councils, over the next three years, can add 6% to pay for adult care to their Council Tax bills. This can be a variation of 1, 2 and 3% per annum for the next three years to make a total of 6%.I can reveal that ERYC Tories will be whipped to vote for a 3% increase for this year, 3% for next year and 0% in April 2019. In May 2019 the ERYC election will take place!

Surely the Tories are not attempting to buy votes?
