After the MAY local elections, a raft of new councillors will be taking their seats in council chambers across the county. Many will have dreams of rejuvenating town centres, and ‘delivering’ for residents - if their pre-election leaflets are anything to go by.
It is that time in the political cycle that leaflets are pushed through the letter box telling you how bad the last council have been and how dreadful they have made residents lives.
Three-quarters of your council tax money is spent on social care and children’s care. Next council year, £478 million will be spent on adult care across Hertfordshire and £257 million will be spent on children’s care.
