Due to the fact that I called an officer luv and named them as they had wasted £20,000 the Standards Committee stated my “punishment” is to undergo Social Media training.

I expect I am more active on Social Media than the other 66 ERYC Councillors put together yet they believe I need Social Media training.

The average age of the three ERYC Councillors who came up with this further waste of tax payers resources is over 70.

Council Tax Increase

I can confirm that next years Council Tax will raise by 2.99%.

There will be no increase for Adult Care in 2019 as in the previous two years. All Local Authorities can increase Council Tax for Adult Care by a total of 6% over three years. Those who have elections in 2019 raised the Council Tax by 3% in 2017 and 2018.

ERYC have elections in 2019.

Is there any wonder I have never voted to increase the Council Tax when so much is wasted?
