Council hopes to increase tax and permit costs
LDRSResidents could be charged more for council tax and residential parking permits from April.
Plans to raise council tax by 4.99% have been proposed in Gloucestershire County Council's budget for the next financial year.
A cabinet meeting on Wednesday at Shire Hall heard about 75% of the authority's budget will be spent on social care. The budget will next be debated on 18 February.
If approved, an average annual band D property will see tax rise to £1,763 from £1,679. Under the plans, parking permits will also increase by £1.36 a month for the first permit, and £13 a month for the second.
The increase is made up of a 2.99% increase for general tax and a 2% rise for adult social care, according to the Local Democracy Reporting Service.
Council leader also hope to spend an extra £15m on road maintenance in the next financial year.
Deputy council leader Colin Hay told the meeting that authority has had to find just under £10m "without rowing back on their investment commitments".
He also warned that residents will see transformational changes to services.
"Some of the things the public expect councils to do, we can no longer do it.
"We have to alter our services to the amount of money we are getting for them," Hay added.
