This month Stockport residents are seeing the benefits of their Council tax having been frozen after a decision by Lib Dems on Stockport Council.
The decision is common with all Lib Dem-led authorities throughout over the country. Both Labour and Tory councils have raised taxes this year.
In freezing the tax frontline services were kept – despite Labour scaremongering. No library services have been cut, and additional money has been put into repairing potholes and other services.
“More is going into social services for older people and those with learning difficulties – a crucial extra £1.5m,” said Sue Derbyshire.
‘I am particularly pleased that when other councils nearby are announcing cuts to their services to vulnerable people, we are investing.”
