TOWN hall bosses could freeze or even cut council tax next year, despite Government grants being slashed by £1.6million.
Tendring Council has been told its revenue support grant from central government will be just £3.5million next year.
The council’s budget had already been cut to £16million this year, down £7million since government austerity measures started in 2010.
But council finance boss Alan Goggin said the authority was getting ready for a budget that “anticipates” a freeze in its share of the overall council tax bill.
