On Wednesday Evening i attended a meeting of the Full Council, in the Council Chamber. The meeting was called to discuss this years budget and to set the level of the Council tax.
The ruling Liberal Democrat group wanted a 3% increase in the council tax as well as the ability to part privatise home help for the elderly, and introduce a number of damageing cuts to Council services, one of those long term cuts could be the closure of Llys Madoc nursing home.
The labour group opposed the budget,and highlighted a number of weaknesses as well as introducing our alternative spending plans which would protect services to the most vunerable in society. These alternative plans were vote down by the Lib -Dems.
As this budget sought to increase Your Council Tax by 3% and would hit the most vunerable in society i voted against.

Hi Paul. Very fair comments about the meeting on Wednesday. The Libs want Llys Madoc shut thats why they are running it into the ground. Keep opposing them. I now have got you as a link on my blog.
