RE: Cheshire East proposed funding cuts
Cheshire East are now proposing the following:

Supporting essential growth by managing changes to services worth -£12.3m, including:
- Reduce Council offices space due to new working practices,
- Prioritise library services, by keeping all libraries open, although with a reduction in some opening hours,
- Following Government lead on bus subsidies, meaning inflation will not be funded, which will impact on availability,
- Introducing fairer but higher car parking charges across the borough to support maintenance of such facilities,
- Introduce charges for Green Waste collection services inline with most English Councils,
- Enhancing digital services to provide a more modern customer experience but also reduce costs.

They'll be an increase of 4.99% to council tax to pay for those 'privileges'
