At next weekโs budget meeting weโre proposing a 3.89% Council Tax rise. Weโre keeping this yearโs rise as low as possible while protecting vital frontline services. Now itโs over to the opposition: โ Back our budget โ Or vote for a higher tax rise for Warwickshire residents

George Finch, Reform UK Leader of Warwickshire Council. He was elected leader after the previous Reform UK leader quit after just 41 days, and squeezed in as winner after a split vote.
