Latest development in Bournemouth

Council Tax

A council tax increase of 4.98% in FY2018-19 is expected to get approval b the full council in Bournemouth. In FY2017-18, the council's Cabinet was reluctantly that the council tax increases from the 2017-18 budget. The Cabinet has by now acknowledged £13m of savings and cuts to balance-out a deficit of £8mn in the FY2018-19 budget. However Councillors are also anticipating decline in funding from Central Government of £6.9mn in 2017-18, and an additional drop of £4.4mn in 2018-19. The proposed, 4.98% council tax rise would include a 3% Adult Social Care guideline to fund and 1.99% increase in standard council tax. This increase in council tax, will allow Bournemouth Borough Council to assign an additional £9mn to its Children's' and Adults' social care budget. According to John Beesley, Leader of the Bournemouth Council, 'the effectual management of the finances allocate to the Council has never been so crucial. He recognises the current state of affairs and intense cuts in central government funding and immediate increases in the demand for services. Starting 2011, Bournemouth Council has suffered a decline of £40.2mn in the Government's Revenue Support Grant (RSG) which is equivalent to 77% less RSG funding for FY2017-18. Furthermore, the recent reductions in Government funding correspond to noteworthy disputes. However, he assures the residents that the Council has a verified track record of balancing its financials and supervision the delivery of services year on year. Keeping in mind the uncertainties of present and prospective Local Government funding issues, the Budget recommended to the Council seems financially sound. The Councillor aims to continue to deliver front line services and support residents in need.

Waste disposal

Also, recently Bournemouth council was criticised by the National Landlord's Association (NLA) over changes of collection of waste from multiple habitation rented properties. The policy came into effect when the council opted for a bi-weekly collection service from April 2017. The policy states that houses of multiple occupancy (HMOs) with seven or more tenants and also need extra collection capacity on top of the council's standard allowance should be charged a commercial rate for the service. The standard service offered by the council adds up to 240-litre recycling container collected fortnightly, a food waste bin collected weekly, and a 140-litre residual waste container collected fortnightly. Gathering of a 240-litre bin costs around £6 per lift. This policy has been criticised by the National Landlord Association (NLA), which stated that Bournemouth council's actions are inequitable on the tenants of HMO properties. As a result, NLA has written to councillors to highlight these concerns, and requested a meeting to discuss a more suitable and sustainable move towards with regards to waste disposal.
