points and their mood is considerably | :00:00. | :00:13. | |
For the first time in five years, Norfolk County Council is | :00:14. | :00:21. | |
considering raising council taxes to meet a massive shortfall | :00:22. | :00:23. | |
The deficit has more than trebled to ?17.5 million, | :00:24. | :00:27. | |
Today the leader of the Conservative group voiced | :00:28. | :00:30. | |
The lights must have days as they wrestled with the deficit at County | :00:31. | :01:00. | |
Hall. Tories had the most councillors but Labour lead the | :01:01. | :01:04. | |
council with a so`called rainbow coalition. So, why the current | :01:05. | :01:09. | |
financial mess? Labour blame a 24% cut in government funding. The | :01:10. | :01:12. | |
government has yet again imposed more duties on local government | :01:13. | :01:14. | |
without giving us the funding. Every county council of a similar sizes | :01:15. | :01:18. | |
making this sort of provision in their estimates for next year. The | :01:19. | :01:20. | |
county council faces increasing pressure, not least on children's | :01:21. | :01:23. | |
and adult social services, which account for four fifths of its | :01:24. | :01:27. | |
spending. To cut back services like libraries or road maintenance | :01:28. | :01:31. | |
wouldn't have much impact. It means council tax rises are a very real | :01:32. | :01:35. | |
option. One makes assumptions that you are paying the money so you will | :01:36. | :01:39. | |
get your garbage collected and they will amend the roads. The council | :01:40. | :01:44. | |
has a huge amount of wastage and rather than keeping piling it on to | :01:45. | :01:49. | |
the general public, they could do it inside themselves. It will be quite | :01:50. | :01:53. | |
difficult for me to afford a rise in council tax. Norfolk is by no means | :01:54. | :01:59. | |
alone. County councils across the region faces similar predicament. | :02:00. | :02:02. | |
The question is how to solve it. As the leader has acknowledged here, | :02:03. | :02:07. | |
the rise in council taxes they be the only option. | :02:08. | :02:10. | |
Police investigating the death of a 61`year`old man following a fight | :02:11. | :02:12. | |
in Northampton have issued a photo of a man they want to talk to. | :02:13. | :02:16. | |
Detectives believe this man may have tried to act as a peacemaker. | :02:17. | :02:19. | |
George Wedderburn also intervened in the fight last Sunday | :02:20. | :02:21. | |
An elderly woman's in a critical condition after being run over by a | :02:22. | :02:28. | |
It happened on Sutton Road yesterday afternoon. | :02:29. | :02:32. | |
The 77`year`old pedestrian was airlifted to the | :02:33. | :02:35. | |
In the past hour, a 43`year`old man from Romania has been charged with | :02:36. | :02:49. | |
careless driving. In the football today: | :02:50. | :03:05. | |
Peterborough are top of league one tonight. They beat Colchester. | :03:06. | :03:26. | |
The result of the day in league two for Cambridge United: | :03:27. | :03:46. | |
Good evening. We continue with a dry outlook for the rest of today and | :03:47. | :03:52. | |
into tonight. There are one or two showers around that most of us | :03:53. | :03:56. | |
should not see those. Tonight, some clear spells with temperatures down | :03:57. | :04:01. | |
to 11 or 12 Celsius. Tomorrow is not looking too bad. It might be a | :04:02. | :04:04. | |
little cloudy and we will not see the much in the way of sunshine but | :04:05. | :04:09. | |
still quite bright. Medium to high level cloud which keeps the sun from | :04:10. | :04:13. | |
poking through. Temperatures will reach 19 or 20 degrees along the | :04:14. | :04:19. | |
coast. Certainly, feeling more pleasant with lighter winds for | :04:20. | :04:23. | |
tomorrow. As we head into the beginning of next week, Monday and | :04:24. | :04:26. | |
Tuesday are a little bit as appointing. We have the remnants of | :04:27. | :04:30. | |
a front giving a small cloud but also perhaps some drizzly rain on | :04:31. | :04:33. | |
higher ground. But from Wednesday onwards, it should become more | :04:34. | :04:35. | |
settled and warmer. | :04:36. | :04:39. |
