The leader of Dudley Council today said he will do all he can to “invest and build” despite the national financial uncertainty, as the authority sets its budgets for the year ahead.
New Police Community Support Officers will be pounding the streets across the borough next year – after Dudley Council bosses agreed to spend £750,000 over three years to fund the posts.
Residents across Dudley will continue to pay one of the lowest council tax rates in the country – but council bosses have still pledged to invest nearly £10 million in local services.
