The budget includes a 5 pc council tax increase
Mancunians will be hit with a 5 per cent increase in council tax in April. Council house tenants face a 7pc rise.
Along with helping the homeless, these services still account for most of spending in the £736m revenue budget, which was passed on Friday . The executive member for finance told councillors that the town hall has been conscious of the hardship faced during the cost of living crisis when setting the budget. That is why an extra £5.5m of 'targetted support' for the most vulnerable residents and voluntary groups helping them has been included.
Where your money will go More than half of Manchester council’s £736.2m revenue budget will go on helping those most in need. Departments responsible for care and support for adults, children and people facing homelessness make up 60 pc of spending. The second biggest slice - 15 pc - goes on neighbourhood services such as bin collections, maintaining roads and pavements and running parks, libraries and leisure centres. Next year, an extra £1.5m of funding will be spent on cleaning streets and a £700,000 fund for small, but urgent improvements - such as fixing broken swings and replacing litter bins - is also included in the budget.
