55% : The claim was made during a debate at a council meeting on January 30, which approved increases to council rent and cuts to council tax reduction (CTR) for working-age residents.
52% : "It's not ideal but it is something we have got to do to balance the budget, we have made allowances to help the most vulnerable, we have got discretionary council tax relief which currently there is a budget of £274,000 in there and we are adding a further £1m." Cuts to CTR were approved with 33 councillors in favour, 26 against and there were four abstentions.
