Budgets Capped

Five police authorities in England will have their budgets capped, the government is expected to say.
The authorities are likely to be Lincolnshire, Cheshire, Leicestershire, Cleveland and Warwickshire.

Lincolnshire police authority has the highest request. It has increased its stake of the council tax by 80%, adding an extra £2 a week to the average bill.


If the budgets are not capped then spending could get out of control. The police need money, but it is a business as well. Their work needs to be done efficiently and productively.
