Councillor Llewellyn-Burke moved the item noting that it is a legal requirement for the Council to determine this each year and the calculation was carried out in accordance with the regulations.  Councillor Ash-Edwards seconded the item.

A Member noted that 40% of the tax base is in the villages and urged that value is provided back at an appropriate rate.
