Your views on our proposal to change the way we work out how much people pay towards the cost of their adult social care services
We currently spend around £1m each day on adult social services and are planning to increase the overall amount we spend on adult social services in 2017/18.

We had reflected this in our own planning and so our proposals for 2017/18 were based on the assumption that council tax would increase overall by 3.8%.... MoreClosed 27 January 2017 -
