East Hampshire Conservatives keep Council Tax rise to just 6p a week
May 14th, 2012
Conservative controlled East Hampshire District Council has increased its 2012-13 share of the Council Tax by 2.5% to protect front-line services.
This is only the second increase in the last 6 years and represents an extra £3.28 on a Band D property per year, or 6p per week. The rise was considered the best way to maintain the Council’s services over the long term in the face of a stuttering economy and diminishing government grants.
Joint bin collections save money
May 14th, 2012
East Hampshire Conservatives have forged links with Winchester City Council to jointy provide a waste service across the two council areas. This service, introduced in October 2011, is expected to save East Hampshire residents more than £1m a year thanks to more efficient working practices.
