Decision details

Members considered a report on proposals to set Council Tax for 2020/21. 

Councillor Williamson said the report included the Council Tax resolution, which referred to the calculations prescribed by the Local Government Finance Act 1992 as amended, and the Localism Act 2011.  The Council had no discretion in undertaking these calculations beyond determining any special expenses, and had not made any such determinations.  He proposed a motion to support the recommendations, which required a recorded vote. 

Councillor E Buckmaster seconded the motion. 

A recorded vote was taken, the result being:

FOR
