Lib Dems oppose "Damaging" County Council budget

County Cllr Colin Taylor said: "We supported limiting the Council Tax increase to 2.5% as proposed. Many Surrey residents are struggling to pay their bills during the economic downturn, so the Council Tax needs to be set as low as possible whilst allowing for adequate funding for services. However we opposed the contents of the Conservatives' budget, as it does the opposite of what Surrey residents want."
