Adult social care origami money

East Sussex County Council will decide on its budget and council plan for the coming year, tomorrow (9 February 2016).

Councillors will vote on proposals to increase council tax by 3.99%, including a 2% ‘social care levy’ approved by the Government, which must be spent on adult social care services.

The proposed budget would see £366 million spent on services in the new financial year. At the moment, East Sussex County Council expects to need to make savings of at least £70 million by 2019.

Watch the council meeting live from 10am on Tuesday 9 February.
