2.8% and money to sort out Social Care

So we have announced a 2.8% Council Tax increase (lowest in the Metropolitan Region) and also an additional £30 Million plus for Social Care.

We also have set our sights on sorting out the problems in Housing. I think there is now a general recognition that we mean what we say when we talk about sorting out the problems in Birmingham.

In Sandwell we haven't set our Council Tax... and I was told by a colleague in Dudley that their Tories were going for a zero rate increase... even lower than their Tory/Liberal colleagues in Birmingham. Is that a false rumour John?

We understood Dudley were going for 2.8%

You are likely to be closer to them (politically, anyway) than we are.

To the extent that I am relying on information from the Conservatives you have a point. I am not relying on information from Labour as to what the Conservatives will do.
