observer Posted February 22, 2013 Report Share Posted February 22, 2013 1.8% rise by the Council, sounds fairly minimal (just .2% under the Gov limit); but won't there be aditional precepts from the Police and Fire Authorities? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Tessla Posted February 22, 2013 Report Share Posted February 22, 2013 Correction the rise is 1.98% - just 0.02% below the increase level that would mean a public vote on the increase. What with this and the local Labour Youth Wing protesting against a vote being held on the EU, not just campaigning for a yes vote when the time comes, I guess our lords and masters in Warrington Labour just don't trust us plebs to vote correctly.

observer Posted February 22, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2013 Notice the Local LibDums are kicking off that they have no representation on some Police Cttee; thought the idea of electing a PPC had got rid of Police Cttes? Do they get paid as well? Aside from taking the blame for less coppers or higher precepts, one wonders why they've bothered with these PCC's?

I read that only 7% of those eligible to vote bothered to do so. I guess it's another gay marriage priority ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

observer Posted March 1, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2013 Does anyone know what the Police & Fire precepts are? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dizzy Posted March 1, 2013 Report Share Posted March 1, 2013 1.99% increase for the police Obs. See John Dwyers letter to Stephen Broomhead WBC here http://www.cheshire-pcc.gov.uk/Document-Library/Responses/2013-02-15-Letter-re-police-and-crime-panel.pdf I think I read something recently where it said the 1.99% police increase will equate to about £3 extra per house per year. I could be wrong though. No idea about the fire servise or whether any local parish councils have increased their precepts too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Penguindust Posted March 28, 2013 Report Share Posted March 28, 2013 Cheshire Fire precept up by 1-95 percent. The average bill for band D is roughly £62 a year. Average rise is around £1-24 a year. Not bad value for money then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not bad value for money then. with everything else that has gone up in price during the last year and the fact we now have to make do with less bin collections and pay for a police commissioner.... it is a bloody rip off in my opinion. How many people have even had a £62.00 pay rise this year let alone rises to cover gas/electric/petrol rises? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asperity Posted March 28, 2013 Report Share Posted March 28, 2013 I'm in the second year of a pay freeze, with probably a third one to come. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
