A 2-3% rise year on year is the most sensible option, although not a moral or realistic replacement for central government revenue grant that has been carelessly withdrawn. |

This is a shameful partial plug to money that should come from central Government who would rather spend the money on tax cuts for billionnaires and complicity with mass corporate tax avoidance. |

Maintain current levels of fees, all car park fees ought to be invested into public transport ownership, not subsidies, and better walking and cycle lanes. |

Council owned sports centres seem to have disappeared, including Yearsley Pool and energise, so I'm not sure what centres or libraries these are. Explore Libraries is not part of the Council, it's a charity, which is a patronising principle in itself. |

'Commissioning' is a nice polite word for first stage privatisation. Why should the Council do things itself when it can pay a private company more to do a worse job? It's just common sense. |

I have marked down 'economic growth;' as it is a short-sighted, delusional and destructive way of looking at the economy. Where are the 'One Planet Principles' that guide everything the Council does exactly? Perhaps you could promote the growth of renewable energy and equality? I further disagree with the misaleading - Town cetnre begins to decline remarks - have you seen Coney Street, it already is declining. |

Renewable energy and energy efficiency measures are a no brainer and clearly a medium term financial and environmental investment. |
