PPS5 - Maintaining HERs

[kevin wooldridge]

I think there will be an inevitable time lag whatever the final decision on the statutory or non-statutory nature of HERs. Local authority budgets are being fianlised for the coming year at this very moment and it seems unlikely that any provision for new posts will make it through in this years Council Tax bills. This does however give a years grace to the powers that be (and oursleves as intrested parties) to make sure that suitable provision is in place for the beginning of the 2011/12 tax year.....maybe this is just the start of the discussion....
