I have had first site of the delayed Lib Dem Kingston Council Tax proposals. More bad news for Kingston residents. Almost 7% rise (including the GLA). On top of this they are cutting frontline services with the closure of the family archive service, reductions in the Museum opening hours and cutting staff in the libraries. Also cuts to roads maintenance.
Sorry state of affairs. They have been in power for four years and have done nothing about the structural problem of staff numbers rising by nearly 40% since 2000. I have blogged on this in the past.
Whatever else it is now clear that Kington will have the shameful honour of having the highest Council Tax in London; all because we have had a lazy Lib Dem run Council and a Leader who by his own admission "Came into local Government to spend money not save it!"

That is a £94 increase on an band D property, up to £1439 from £1345 before.
Will discontent caused by this be enough to take the Tories back to power here?
