Council tax rise 'not the way' to fund social carepublished at 11:29 GMT 15 December 2016
Sharon Edwards
Political Reporter, BBC Radio LincolnshireThe leader of Lincolnshire County Council says new measures to plug a funding gap in social care aren't right.
The government's agreed to allow local authorities to bring forward council tax rises.
But Martin Hill says he wouldn't be comfortable in increasing council tax to pay for adult social care.
Quote MessageI don't think expecting council tax payers to solve this problem is the correct way. Central government need to come up with a mechanism where it comes out of central funding.
