INCREASING council tax by three per cent in 2017-18, brings in an extra £1.239m, and removing the 10 per cent discount on second homes, generates £380,000 more.
THERE will be £200,000 to support any ‘reliability issues’ with the three-weekly bin collection programme, assisting with transition and changes to ground maintenance/grass-cutting services, with initiatives to tackle dog fouling, litter and marine litter.
HEALTH and social care will get an extra £2.14m one-off payment to ‘smooth’ its budget gap, on top of its baseline allocation of £54.22m for 2017-18.
