Yesterday was a long day of Council meetings. Almost 5 hours of Hampshire County Council in Winchester in the morning, followed by 2.5 hours of Test Valley Borough Council in Andover in the evening.
Both meetings looking at our finances for the year ahead.
The financial situation is such that both Councils have had to increase Council Tax for 2023/24. HCC by 4.99% (2.99% for general costs, 2% for social care).
TVBC have increased their Council Tax by 3.25% which equates to £5 per annum on a Band D home.
