Pensioner discount decision explained
A decision not to implement a proposed council tax discount for pensioners has been explained by the council's leader Councillor Alan Taylor and Finance Portfolio Holder Councillor William Hobhouse. At the recent full council meeting, there were questions about a council cabinet decision not to proceed with the discount because it would mean increasing the burden to all taxpayers in the borough and would not be targeted to benefit only the less well off.
