Council Tax Increase

The request was successful.

Dear Wirral Metropolitan Borough Council,
I note from today's Liverpool Post that jobs are to be lost and Tax to rise. Council conducted a survey of its residents during the past twelve months to ascertain views on options available to Council to obviate these outcomes. The results of the survey can be seen on Council's website.

Which of the options, by name and percentage regarded as preferred by Tax-payers, has Council chosen to implement?

How many completed survey forms were returned, by whatever means, to Council?

What was the cost of the survey?

Yours faithfully,

John H Hutchinson

InfoMgr, FinDMT, Wirral Metropolitan Borough Council

Good Morning,

Thank you for your enquiry.  Please see details below as our reply and I
hope the information is useful to you.

 

The cost of this project was £37,302. This covered two periods of
consultation; September – October 2012, and then November 2012 – January
2013. Within this cost, £13,019 was spent on printing two questionnaire
documents.

 

The options which were recommended at Budget Cabinet on February 18^th
will be published on the Council website as part of the meeting minutes
in the coming days. These minutes can be accessed by following the link:

Information as to the completed surveys is already available on the
Council website, [2]www.wirral.gov.uk/whatreallymatters, in the form of
Consultation Findings reports.

 

Council has not yet made a decision on the options, this will happen at
Budget Council on the 5th March 2013.

Is £37,302 a printing error/joke?
