 | Labour climb down |
 |
The Govt has announced they are delaying the Council Tax revaluation till after the next election. This was called for by Tory shadow minsiters during the last election, and the Labour spin machine branded us as "desperate". The re-valuation in Wales last year has given worring indications that the majority of house holders will get larger bills.
The Govt has also announced that they have given Sir Micheal Lyons more time to investigate how local Authorities are funded. He was due to report back this year. The current grant system means that Authoritys such as Wyre Forest lose out to a tune of £370,000 per year to ensure that other authorities recieve a minumum increase of 2.5%. I say that this is not fair to the people of Wyre Forest, as it enevitably means that the District Taxpayer foots the bill. Lets hope the former Birmingham City Council Chief Exec, Sir Micheal, can come up with a fairer system!

I have been at the Police HQ at Hindlip for most of the day for the Full Meeting of West Mercia Police Authority. Lots of topics covered.
The hot topic being the looming shake up of the countries Police Forces that has been covered in the press over the last couple of days. The out look for how this will affect West Mercia is un-clear, but rest assured we will fight for what is best for the public, and not just what the Government wants us to do!

| Cabinet Scrunity |
|
I've been to Cabinet Scrunity tonight, pretty light agenda so not much to report. This commitee acts as a central "Hub" for the other scrunity and Poilicy panels, and todays meeting was mainly taken up with the pannel chairman reporting back on work they have in progress.
Good to see Mike Oborski back in the chair and looking better after his recent operation. It must be the prospect of fighting a By-Election that has given him a new lease of life ...... ;)
Then on to an Oportunity Bewdley meeting in Bewdleys' ST Georges Hall. This was a presentation to partners on promoting Bewdley as a brand. It was all good stuff and their work is to be commended.

| Heritage Day ........Bewdley |
|
Heritage Day in Bewdley was in full swing today. The Museum was packed, and lots of local residents and vistors enjoying a cup of tea and bun at the Friends of Bewdley Museum consessions stall, including County Councillors Hart, Campion and Yarrington!
The Bewdley Museum was put back into the Base Budget earlier this year by the Tory District Group, which would have closed under previous Health Concern plans.
The Guild Hall was open and the Charters were on display as well as many other interesting items from the Towns history. It is important that the local people are able to see their civic buildings, and it is days like today that make that possible.

| Heritage Day ...... Kidderminster |
|
Good to see the Heritage Day exibitions at the Town Hall in Kidderminster today. Shame about the weather, even we cant influence that! There was tea and cake on offer as well as excellent renditions of scenes from"Les Miserables" from local school children.
The District Leader and several local Conservative councillors were in attendance.
