Kent Reform - a wonderful example
Of how not to run a council
Reform UK’s Kent County Council’s budget reveals a gaping £60m hole and insiders warn it could climb to £100m, even with the maximum council tax rise. 🚨
PA says they are planning a 5% council tax hike just to stop the gap getting even worse 📉 £84.56 extra every year for a Band D household 🏠
Reform promised cuts and efficiency ✂️
They launched an “Elon Musk style” Department of Local Government Efficiency 🤖
The result so far? A deficit three times bigger than the one they inherited ❌
Adult social care providers are being warned of huge funding cuts within months. And councillors still have no draft budget to scrutinise 📄🚫
Kent is not just ANY council ⚠️
It is SUPPOSED to be the one they point to and say “this is how we’d run the country”. A “showcase”.🇬🇧
So far the verdict is clear 👇
This is their showcase. And it is going wrong.
