The results of the consultation will inform the decision to be made by Council on 23 February 2016 on the budget and council tax level for 2016/17.
“Ryedale District Council is the Collection Authority and whilst we collect 100% of the Council Tax from you 12% is used by Ryedale to provide services which include refuse collection, street cleaning, recycling, leisure facilities, housing, economic development, planning, environmental health, animal welfare and community safety “ said Janet Waggott, Chief Executive of Ryedale District Council.
” The other 88% is split between North Yorkshire County Council (69%), North Yorkshire Police (13%), North Yorkshire Fire and Rescue (4%) and parishes (2%).
“We are currently considering our budget and council tax levels for 2016/17 and beyond. Councillors have asked officers to prepare a budget with a nil increase in Council Tax for 2016/17.
” It is important that you have your say and we would like to hear your opinion about which services we currently offer that you feel are a priority.”
The deadline for responses is Friday 18 December 2015
