The Credit Crunch and Rochdale
Running a Council during these economic times is certainly a challenge. Since taking control of Rochdale Council for the first time ever in 2006, we have striven at all times to keep Council Tax as low as possible whilst delivering the best possible services. Keeping control of our budget has been a challenge especially when needs-met departments like Adult Care see a huge increase in costs. Despite these challenges, we have delivered the lowest Council Tax increase for over a decade and are fighting the credit crunch head on.
