PLANS to cut council tax by three per cent have been backed by Cotswold District Council’s cabinet.
Last Thursday, a meeting of the cabinet - the council’s executive - approved an updated Medium Term Financial Strategy (MTFS) for 2015/16 to 2018/19 and a round of public consultation to ascertain support for its budget proposals.
Members also approved a proposal to continue the freeze on prices for car parking, leisure and museum fees, and green waste collections.
During the meeting, Cllr Jim Parsons said: “I’m particularly pleased to see we are keeping a 50 per cent surcharge on empty properties.”
The full council will consider the MTFS during its budget meeting in February.
