Lib Dems have saved you £1200 over the past 8 years! (and invested in better services) The average Council Tax payer is now £1200 better off thanks to the Liberal Democrats running Liverpool. This is from the money the Council has saved since 1998 by cutting waste - money Labour used to pour down the drain, and would have added to your Council Tax bill. And for 2007 they have done it again! Yet again the Lib Dems have kept our Council tax down and found extra money for the services YOU told us matter most.  Lib Dem Council Leader Councillor Warren Bradley said, “This year’s budget setting process has been very difficult but we’ve worked hard to make savings. No frontline services have been affected. No leisure centres, libraries or one stop shops will close.” In 1998 the Liberal Democrats took over a Council with the highest Council Tax in the country with officially the 2nd worst services. Now 8 years on even Labour admit services have dramatically improved and we are no longer the highest taxed - in fact we are not even in the 100 highest taxing councils. You decided what's importantWE ASKED: The Lib Dems wrote to over 100,000 households asking residents what their priorities for the City are.
WE LISTENED: We received a massive response to our survey. And you told us that your priorities were Low Council Tax, Social Care, Street Cleansing & more Police.
WE ACTED: 2.9% Council Tax, £7 million for Social Care, more money for street Cleaning.
...But Labour Admit They Would Cost You More Labour Leader Joe Anderson boasted to the Daily Post that Labour would have made the Council £126 Million RICHER” by putting up OUR Council Tax and making you poorer.
That would mean Labour Councillors taking an extra £747 out of YOUR pocket. But don’t expect to get more for the extra money - when Labour last ran our city we had the highest taxes in Britain and officially the second worst services. With Labour, you pay more but get less! |
