Rates Budget for 2008/2009

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Commissioners have agreed to set the rate for 2008/09 at 224 pence.  This is an increase of 3.7% from last year.  In addition

 

the separate refuse charge of £95 has increased to £98 per dwelling.  This covers the costs of incineration, refuse collection

 

and the Town's contribution to the Western Civic Amenity Site.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

A number of further improvements will be undertaken, funded from reserves held.  These include replacement of the four promenade 

shelters,  repairs to a section of the headlands path and retarmac of the garage area at Kerroo Coar.  Having completed the 

 

improvements to Factory Lane toilets in 2007/2008 we now intend to continue the improvement works with an upgrade of the

 

promenade toilets.
