The grant the Council currently pays to Parish, Town Councils and the Charter Trustees in respect of the introduction of the Local Council Tax Support Scheme has been reviewed as part of the Council’s Medium Term Financial Planning process.

 

This report proposes reductions to the level of grant paid in 2016/17 and the phasing out of the remaining grant from 2017/18, in light of the reductions already made to the Council’s core funding received from central government and the further reductions anticipated over the next four years.

 

A Council decision is required ahead of the Budget setting meeting in February so parishes can be notified and factor the change in grant into their upcoming precept setting decisions.
