This is taken from this evenings Evening Standard.
Interesting that the Lib Dem Executive member quoted blames the Government for the high tax rise. Richmond got the same as us, as always, and yet they look to be freezing their Council Tax.
They have had plenty in their reserves to enable them to do this. Seems just damn good financial planning on their part; and of course they are Conservative controlled!

Massive headcount reductions and more outsourcing are required.If costs cannot be controlled they must be ruthlessly stripped out.
India is now too expensive for outsourcing so suggest Kenya/Uganda and Tanzania,Zambia or Sierra Leone.English is widely spoken,the economies are a disaster and work would be welcome...much better than "aid" which is stolen before it reaches the right people.
The aim must be to reduce council tax year on year not increase by twice inflation or more.
