Welcoming Thursday’s vote by Adur Council to cut this year’s council tax by 1%, Adur’s MP Tim Loughton commented:
‘This is fantastic news making Adur one of just 10 out of 326 local authorities to reduce Council tax so far this year and that after 3 years of zero increases. It is a testament to the sound financial management of Conservative run Adur Council which has continued to provide excellent services and be mindful of who is paying for them at this particularly difficult time financially for hard working people. Reducing senior management costs by more than 57% shows how Adur has prioritised local people over the costs and bureaucracy of running local Government and they should be congratulated on this.’
