HITTING THE COLD SPOTS
Thanks to funding from its Rural Development fund, HCC is offering extra support to tackle fuel poverty in the rural areas of Hampshire. As well as the standard level of support available through Hitting the Cold Spots, HCC recognises that those residents living in the rural areas of Hampshire can face added challenges. Hitting the Cold Spots can help individuals and families throughout the Hampshire County Council area with practical support and detailed advice including visits from skilled Advisors. This can lead to the provision of emergency heating, access to funding for repairs and replacement heating or hot water systems as well as small grants to help cope with winter emergencies. Hitting the Cold Spots will also provide practical support with debt, financial advice and benefits as well as assistance with switching energy providers. For further information see www.hants.gov.uk/cold-spots and for advice contact the Hitting the Cold Spots Advisor on Freephone 0800 804 8601or email staywarm@environmentcentre.com
HAMPSHIRE POLICE BUDGET
Simon Hayes, Police and Crime Commissioner for Hampshire, is inviting members of the public across Hampshire and Isle of Wight to have their say on the level of council tax precept for the policing budget in 2015/16.
The Commissioner is proposing a nominal increase of 1.99 percent. For an average Band D household, this equates to a rise of just £3.07 per annum (or 26p per month, or 6p per week) from £154.26 to £157.33. This increase would generate an additional £2 million for 2015/16, which is the cost of employing 43 police officers.
The increase proposed is within the 2% cap that has been placed on precept rises by central Government. To exceed this cap would require the conduct of a referendum, the costs of which would divert funding from front line policing, and this is not therefore something that the Commissioner is proposing. However, the Commissioner is still interested to hear from the people of Hampshire and the Isle of Wight as to whether, in principle, you would support an increase which was greater than the 2% cap, in the event that it were to be possible to invest all of this in front line policing. For example, if the precept was increased by 2.99%, the additional £1m generated would equate to around an additional 20 police officers.
The Government cap on precept rises in recent years has left a significant shortfall in funding. With 33 percent of the total policing budget coming from the council tax precept, and with Government continuing to dramatically reduce police funding, the proposed increase will help to partially address that shortfall.
To express your opinion, please complete a short survey at http://bit.ly/1vIIlsN, email pcc.consultation@hampshire.pnn.police.uk, or FREEPOST your response to: Business Reply Plus, Licence Number RTGX-KSAA-AHBB, Office of the Police and Crime Commissioner, St Georges Chambers, St Georges Street, Winchester, SO23 8AJ
The results of the consultation will be presented to the Police and Crime Panel when they meet to review the proposed precept at their meeting on Friday, January 23rd 2015.
