Councillors agreed the move at a meeting on Thursday last week (February 21).

The budget for 2013/14 sets out plans for spending the £189 million of available funding on services including waste and recycling, looking after roads, running libraries, children’s centres, leisure centres and theatres and providing social care for disabled children, adults and for older people.

Councillors also approved a capital programme of £84 million, which will provide major investment in road maintenance – something which council tax payers have said is very important, as well as street lighting and new high quality accommodation for the elderly.

The council tax freeze means that the average Central Beds Council part of Band D council tax will be £1,308.33, with all residents now paying the same, wherever they live in the area.
