Bishop Auckland Constituency Labour Party Taking Pride in Our Communities


County Durham’s Reform and Conservative County Councillors yesterday voted to increase YOUR Council Tax by 4.99%.
West Auckland Ward ClIrs Rob Yorke and ClIr George Smith attended – Cllr Yorke speaking against the Coalition of LibDems, Tories and Independents’ budget that included setting Council Tax at 4.99% for 2025/26 (video below)
This hideous budget also includes borrowing up to £1bn – saddling the county with debt for decades.
County Durham Labour voted against the rise, but the budget passed by two votes…Reform councillors helping tip the balance in the Coalition’s favour.
Only Labour will stand up for County Durham residents.
