Anyone living in Lewes may be interested to know that Lewes District Council are proposing a 30% increase in their share of council tax supposedly to pay for the upkeep of parks and gardens (which have been very well maintained up to now without this charge). Combined with ESCC increasing their share by 2% the overall increase is well above the 2% which should trigger a referendum. But of course, we won't get one.
There is a petition here which needs 750 signatures to refer the decision to the Council's scrutiny committee
