Yesterday, Full Council met to set the budget for the next financial year. Most importantly - for all of us, this includes setting the Council Tax.
The well publicised £8.568m overspend by Health & Social Care has dominated discussions for the last 3 months.
£6.537m has been reclaimed from other services..... all of which impacts massively on the service that the East Ayrshire provides.
The differential, ie £2.1m, will be added to Council Tax for the current year; this equates to about 3% of the increase. So, as tax payers, we are all funding last years mismanagement.
The total increase will be 6.9%.
Front line services have suffered cuts year after year - so much so; that they have become unrecognisable as a service.
I continue to challenge all things 'RUBBISH' on all fronts, along with the small but increasingly powerful cohort of independent Elected Members.

REPORTING FLYTIPPING & HOW LONG IT TAKES FOR REMOVAL
A number of constituents have reported flytipping through the Council online reporting system and have expressed frustration that it doesn’t get cleaned quickly enough.
Having looked into it, East Ayrshire Council has three categories of flytipping:
Category 1 - Cleared within 3 days:
Clinical / needles
Category 2 - Cleared within 30 days:
Black bag commercial, black bag household, construction / demolition / excavation, electrical, furniture, green waste, mattress, other household waste, tyres, vehicle parts, white goods
Category 3 - Specialist company to clear:
Asbestos, other commercial waste
Any flytipping outwith 30mph zones requires Ayrshire Roads Alliance support.
Therefore, the vast majority of flytipping is Category 2, if it’s not cleared within 30 days of reporting please contact your Ward Councillor.
If you see any flytipping please take a photo and report online:
