"People will be asked to pay an extra £10 a year in council tax to fund more police officers in South  news Yorkshire". BBC news

Shagger Boris promised us an additional 20,000 Police officers.  Are they here yet ?

He has created a discussion on here.

A 4.69% rise is less than inflation though, which is presently 7.5% RPI, so its a cut.

Are you going to sent him a letter/email of complaint, would you like an above inflation increase?

I would like to see a more transparent funding system, perhaps one in which Government and presept funding were directly linked.

I would be happy to pay an above inflation increase.

Is the 4.69% just the  £10 extra for police? If it is, then  the total amount for the C tax won't be 4.69%

Wont be much different than 4.7% overall tbh.  Legislation stops local authorities raising it by over a certain amount (think its 5%) and they would need a referendum to do so, which hasnt happened.

But is the Police budget subject to the same limit and referendum?

No idea, in any case its a tiny proportion of the overall bill so even if the Police bit went up 10%, that certainly wouldnt translate to an increase much above 5%.
