North Yorkshire Council's corporate director of resources has weighed in on the local authority's rates increase.
Gary Fielding explained why this has been one of the toughest budgets yet.
He explained what the council's biggest funding pressures are:
Gary says changes have been made and there is help for those who may be struggling:
This is the Coast is committed to providing a daily local news service for the Yorkshire Coast. We are a small locally owned and operated business which employs professional journalists and reporters. We do not receive any public funding or grants and we are entirely funded by our local commercial operations. We enjoy fabulous support from local businesses who work with us on their advertising and marketing campaigns, but the cost of providing high quality, well researched, fact checked local news coverage is significant.
If you appreciate what This is the Coast does, and would like to help support our journalism, please consider supporting us on a monthly basis today.
A small contribution from all our readers would really help support independent journalism for the Yorkshire Coast.
