Rutland County Council 1.9% Record

Last night the full Council met to set this year’s council tax.

It’s a record low increase 1.9%

The Leader Roger Begy, has a sense of humour, his jokes spread evenly throughout the meeting. (A lot more cheer than yesterday evenings Eastenders.)

Mr Begy also has a very serious stern manner and this was shown when Councillor Oxley suggested the low increase may have political connotations.

Mr Begy pointed out there were no Rutland County Council Election this year.

It is my understanding part of the low increase is to be funded by increased parking charges.
