Rutland County Council has almost halved its proposed council tax increase for the coming year after the government stepped in to help more with children in the county who have special educational needs by effectively backdating the dedicated schools grant to help bridge the extra the county council were paying to cover the shortfall.
There will now be a freeze on the general bill, but still a 2% rise for adult social care making it one of the smallest proposed increases in the country for the coming year's council tax increases. The cabinet will discuss the news further tomorrow with the final decision expected to be made by full council at the end of this month.
