This year ministers decided to change

This year ministers decided to change the rules allowing councils to spread a total of six per cent for adult social services over three years.Cllr Kay said: “We have decided to opt for three per cent this year and 1.5 per cent for each of the following two years to meet the immediate needs of elderly and other adult residents with complex needs the government is not prepared to pay for.”This will add 60 instead of the planned 48, an extra 1 a month, to the council tax bill of the average ‘Band A’ terrace homes making up 58 per cent of the borough’s houses.The extra one per cent will mean a 90 increase in the annual bill of a Band D semi detached or small detached home, a top up of 1.50 a month.Only six per cent of properties in the borough are more highly rated.Lancashire County Council, which proves adult social care services to Ribble Valley and Hyndburn, chose to stick with a 3.99 per cent rise including two per cent for adult social care.Cllr Kay will propose the extra increase to the Labour group this week with it due to be confirmed by the full Blackburn with Darwen Council budget meeting a week tonight.Borough Tory group leader, Cllr John Slater, said: “I would not have front loaded the increase in this way.”Labour are doing this because they want the money. They should have waited until the budget in the Spring.”He added: “I hope Chancellor Philip Hammond will offer extra grants to councils.”The new increased rise means that before extra precepts for the police and fire service and town and parish councils, the borough’s portion of the council tax in 2017/2018 will be as follows: Band A property 922.12; Band B 1.075.81; Band C 1,229.49; Band D 1,383.18; Band E 1,690.55; Band F 1,997.93; Band G 2,305.30 and Band H 2,766.36.If the council closed down their highly successful “How Much Taxpayers Money Can We Waste” department they’d be able to actually reduced council tax! They could also consider learning how to budget properly instead of just blowing OUR money on anything that takes their fancy and also stop paying for so much bad workmanship from contractors followed by expensive legal bills. Finally, I would like to apologise to Cllr Kay for my very selfish parents still being here at the age of 90 and therefore being a drain on his resources, despite the fact that they both worked all their adult lives, paid all their taxes and still pay their council tax.

Personally, my babies hated ultrasounds and home fetal heart monitors, getting stressed every time I had one at the doctor’s office.
