Question Title

* 10. The Council plans to use £1.845 million of New Homes Bonus to protect the delivery of existing services to the community.  Any New Homes Bonus received in excess of this amount will be made available to fund investment in initiatives which support the Council priorities. What are your views on this proposal?

Question Title

* 11. Since 2013 the Council has provided grants to some Town and Parish Councils to compensate them for council tax lost through changes to accounting arrangements for Council Tax Benefit (now known as Local Council Tax Support).

The grants were funded through Revenue Support Grant received by Cotswold District Council. With effect from April 2019, the District Council will no longer receive any Revenue Support Grant from central government. The Council is therefore phasing out the grant to the Town and Parish Councils.

The Council has proposed that 2018/19 will be the final year that grant funding for the Local Council Tax Support Scheme will be made available to Town and Parish Councils. What are your views on this proposal?

Question Title

* 12. Do you have any further comments for the Council to consider as part of its budget setting meeting in February?
