Maintaining Existing Services

Community consultation regarding the Special Rate Variation has highlighted that whether residents supported or didn't support a rise in rates, they certainly did not want any reduction of services. Council's customer surveys support this finding with 87% of respondents satisfied with Council's performance and nearly three quarters providing a high satisfaction rating. However with an additional $1.3 million required annually to maintain existing levels of service to the community, an unsuccessful SRV application would not only see a reduction in service levels but a number of cuts to services. Do you agree? What are your thoughts about this issue?
