C/93/2/09 Questions by Members

  1. Councillor Lynch asked the following question of the Leader of the Council:

    ‘What is the hallmark of a quality Council?’

    Councillor Nineham responded as follows:

    ‘The hallmark of a good Council is to ‘ensure the services it delivers throughout the District are available, meet the needs of customers and are continually seeking improvement.’

    As the Councillor will know, we are pursuing that approach through our Corporate Plan which identified being a Quality Council as one of our four corporate priorities and the above statement is what was unanimously agreed by Council.

    How are we doing that? By working to deliver the actions agreed by Council which were to deliver our statutory services to agreed standards, focus on customers and communication, ensure staff and members are well trained, delivering sound financial management and to ensure equal access to services.

    Again, this detail is all set out in the Council’s Corporate Plan. I will be happy to supply the Member with a copy if he does not have access to one.

    Councillor Lynch asked the following supplementary question:

    ‘At the meetings of the Penrith Town Councillors in November last year and January this year I requested to be provided with information on the duties of the dog wardens. I still haven’t received this information so who is withholding it?’

    Mr Douglas responded that the question had not been picked up but he would ensure it was now passed on and a response sent to Councillor Lynch.
  2. Councillor Eyles asked the following question of the Leader of the Council:

    ‘Does the Executive not find it embarrassing that Cumbria County Council has managed to limit its proposed Council Tax rise this year to 2.5% while Eden District Council has decided to impose a 4.99% rise, the most it can impose without risking a government cap?’

    Councillor Nineham responded as follows:

    ‘There is no embarrassment about having to raise Eden’s Council tax by 4.99%. The situation at the County Council is totally different in that they were awarded an increased government settlement of 5.6% whilst Eden were only awarded a 1.3% settlement. There is still no guarantee that the Authority will escape capping by central Government and if that does happen services will need to be cut.

    In real terms the increase equates to a rise of 15p per week compared to the County Council increase of 8p per day.’

C/94/2/09 Arrangements for Setting the Combined Council Tax

Members were advised that report F20/09 of the Director of Finance outlined contingencies to set the Council Tax if the County Council did not set its budget on 19 February was withdrawn as the County Council had set its budget.
