Stafford: Staffordshire smart alert - Would you support an increase in council tax to help protect and improve your local services?



Would you support an increase in council tax to help protect and improve your local services?

Staffordshire Commissioner for Police, Fire & Rescue and Crime Ben Adams is responsible for setting the budget for Staffordshire Police and Staffordshire Fire & Rescue Service, including the amount of council tax used for both services.

The Commissioner is now asking people across Staffordshire and Stoke-on-Trent to have their say on how much council tax they would be prepared to pay for their local Policing and Fire & Rescue services.

The consultation runs until 12 January and you can have your say here to help inform the Commissioner’s decisions: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/precept2526
