THE LEADER of Thurrock Labour has slammed the Tories over proposals to increase council tax.
John Kent the leader of the Labour group on Thurrock council said;
“the announcement that Thurrock Conservatives plan to impose another inflation busting council tax rise will come as a blow to many hard pushed Thurrock residents.
“The leader of the council appears to be trying to paint this as good news.
“The fact is, it is coming on top of last year’s ten percent council tax hike, alongside £20 million worth of service cuts and together with a raft of inflation busting increases to the council’s fees and charges.
“The Tories have bankrupted Thurrock Council and we will all be paying the price in higher Council Tax Bills, higher debt and poorer services for many years to come.”
