|
|
|
|
Notice of the following motion has been given by Councillor Garland:-
The Council notes that whilst Maidstone is facing a massive 16.7% reduction in its financial settlement in 2011/12, the UK’s contribution to the European Union (EU) is set to rise by 60% over two years.
This Council notes that, despite the opposition of some parliamentary MPs and MEPs, it is likely that the government will agree to a further 2.9% increase in the overall EU budget.
This Council believes the EU should be treated the same as the other tiers of government and in these austere times should share responsibility, along with central and local government, for public spending reductions. Sharing the burden would result in less severe cuts for local authorities, and give more assistance to councils to protect front line services.
This Council therefore urges Maidstone’s two MPs not to support an increase in the EU budget.
