Southampton’s Conservative Councillors have unveiled proposals to cut crime in the city and get more police on the beat. We have called for the City Council to scrap Council Tax for residents who become Special Constables. It is hoped that this will encourage more people to sign up to become Specials.
Fighting crime is a top priority for us and getting more police on the beat will help make our streets safer. A Conservative Council would abolish Council Tax for all Special Constables living in the City and their households.
- Councils have the legal power to introduce discounts for certain types of individuals within a local authority. Such discounts can be as high as 100%.
- The Conservative Group on Southampton City Council are proposing a 100% discount for any households within the City where a Special - Constable lives.
- Another Council which has introduced a discount for Specials is Kingston Upon Hull.
