Minutes:
RESOLVED: That the following Notice
of Motion proposed by Councillor D.Jones and seconded
by Councillor S.Freeguard, be supported, and that,
Council be provided with an update on the proposed Tax-:
Robin Hood Tax
This Council notes the suffering forced upon local residents as a result of this
government’s cuts programme and asserts that there is an alternative to its
ideologically driven attack on public services – namely the levy of a Financial
Transactions Tax on the speculative activities that have accelerated the recent
enrichment of the few to the detriment of the many. The Council therefore calls upon Government
to enact the FTT and use the revenues from this measure to reverse ongoing
shrinkage in the block grant to Wales, so that the Welsh Government can pass on
fair funding for our Council.
