The council’s health and adult social care overview and scrutiny committee made the call when they considered the council’s budget plans for the coming year. Cornwall Council is set to add an extra 3 per cent onto council tax bills which will be used to fund adult social care in Cornwall. The extra precept has been allowed by the Government and will be on top of a proposed basic 1.99% increase in council tax.
