In a ideal world, I would prefer to go to the full 30% increase and give 100% council tax support to the city's poorest residents. However, because of the Government's austerity measures and the eventual phasing out of revenue support grants to Local Authorities, so many of our service areas will be under immense strain. Recognising that some compromise may be needed in order to protect services, I have suggested a 15% increase. This could be funded through: - Further assessment and revision of council tax breaks given to those with one than one property in the city - inc. buy-to-let, empty properties, etc - Ensuring no cuts to Adult Social Care through consideration of the council tax precept offered by the Chancellor in his Autumn Statement - Making use of potential income from increased retention of business rates, as announced by the Government (subject to further detail and calculations yet to be seen) - Re-prioritisation of public services e.g. increased green bin collections vs higher council tax support - Reduced new borrowing and/or prioritisation of planned capital improvements to lessen impact on revenue Male No Heterosexual/straight Single 25 to 39 White - British No Religion Yes Yes No No No Micklegate 107 4360282759.00 75778723 2015-11-27 2015-11-27 Yes Yes No Yes 25%�- requires savings of �950,000 to be made and increases the maximum help by approx. �182 per year.

This is an unfair question. The reason it is unfair is that this is an issue of principle : is it fiar and realistic to expect people on benefits to pay council tax out of a sum of money that does not encompass living costs and priority bills. The question as posed makes a direct link between front line services being lost and an increase in CTS. This is not acceptable and attempts to avoid the main arguments.council tax in York is high people on benefits do not have the funds to support paying the bills and the imposition of a 30 per cent contribution is causing many people to fall into hardship and is costing the council miney in collection activities which again cause hardship to the poor.if Oxford with a similar demographic to York are requesting nil contribution so can York. A series of measures is reauired to make an integrated system for this. I have advice to offer.

I understand that having read York Mix that this is effectively already funded by the changes to council tax that have been applied to empty properties in Leeds. I also understand that there is research that states City of York has recouped nearly �700,000 more from its council tax support claimants than has been cut from the central government. If however further money was required, I believe York should support its most vulnerable residents rather than its more affluent ones through financing free garden bin collections.

I believe that from the changes that have been made since the introduction of council tax support, there is sufficient funding to pay for this. Firstly, the council has now started to charge landlords 100% council tax when their properties are empty which will raise the required saving of �1.14m on its own. Secondly, it should be noted that even under the current regime, the council is recovering an additional �683,000 over and above the central government cut to council tax so the savings are not really �1.14m. Furthermore, I would respectfully suggest that there are other schemes that the council are funding - such as emptying green bins - which are less important.

"Suggestions: Cut the amount of staff working at non-essential jobs - I worked at the council as a temp once and there were some staff who did vital jobs and worked very hard, and other staff whose jobs didn't seem be of much use to anyone - and who consequently were able to spend their time gossiping and surfing the internet. The amount of unnecessary red tape WITHIN the council was pretty amazing to me - it just seemed to create extra work and slow everything down. I think if the top managers in each department spent a couple of weeks a year working at ordinary ""ground level"" jobs within the council they would have no trouble identifying areas where improvements could be made. I'm also quite happy for the council to cut funding for the arts and for museums, and to cut the salaries of the highest paid council staff."

I believe that the council already has sufficient funds in which to do this as it has raised over a �1m from technical changes to council tax (eg charging when properties are empty). I also understand that it is recouping �700,000 more than the central government grant. There are other ways of raising money, especially by prioritising those who are the poorest in York. For instance, charging for green bin collection or not subsidising swimming pools although I think in this case it would not be necessary.

By opting out of the council tax cap deal which it accepted from central government, and raising council tax on higher bands. This increase in discount should not be purchased at the cost of yet more cuts - rather the council should do what it can to resist the cuts agenda. I am speaking as a volunteer at my local park, just to take one tiny example, where we are being asked to undertake basic maintenance (!) as well as all our existing functions so that the council can cut yet more jobs. We will not be able to do this and thus the park can be expected to decline even further.

The amount that is currently being spent in assisting residents in budgeting advice as this is often not the issue, generally residents who experience Council Tax debt are extremely good budgeters but the shortfall in income vs. outgoings does not match up. Amount on Court administration costs and money spent on bailiffs would also be reduced. Other areas could be to increase Council Tax slightly for other residents? Reduce the amount of time that recently repaired or unfurnished houses are exempt? Other areas could look wider at funding which would need to be considered fully, for example, reducing external consultants and doing in-house training with existing Council staff.
