Sally Keeble w`elcomed the Chancellor’s tax cutting budget. She said the budget would be good for the hard working families and pensioners in Northampton.

In particular she welcomed:

• the 2p cut in tax that would cut the tax burden on many families
• the increased tax free allowances for pensioners
• the extra money for the NHS
• the cut in corporation tax to boost the enterprise culture
• the cut in inheritance tax that means only six percent of people will pay the tax
• the 80 million fund for voluntary groups - she will argue that  it should go to sports clubs.

Sally said: ‘This is good for families and enterprise and will be good news for many people in Northampton. It puts money into our frontline service and invests in the future.'
