The Confident Council Scrutiny Committee joined a special budget meeting in Wigan Town Hall where they critiqued the council bosses’ plan to increase base council tax
The latest council tax rise for Wiganers would see households pay up to £140 more per year at a time where costs are going up.
What councillors said was that residents really wanted to know is how this would impact people within each council band.In the wards of Haigh and Shevington you would pay slightly more due to the amount needed to be paid to parish councils. This does not include the increases for Greater Manchester Combined Authority’s tax increases though - which was approved on February 10.
Also safe for now are the boroughs' big infrastructure programmes like the £135m galleries redevelopment in Wigan town centre, and its plan to boost apprenticeships and training to create more jobs. Coun Dave Molyneux, leader of the council, also revealed that free weekend parking for council-run town centre car parks is here to stay.
