2007
Overview
On the day Durham Police Authority voted to defy the Government by increasing its share of council tax by a third, neighbouring Cleveland was congratulating itself on a financial job well done. Graeme Hetherington and Nigel Burton reportBY any measure, Durham constabulary is a force to be reckoned with, consistently praised for its excellent performance and prudent financial management.The most recent national performance figures show Durham to be one of the country's ten best forces.The chief constable and his staff have managed a difficult plate spinning act, consistently hitting crime reduction targets without large budgetary increases.But that task has become progressively more and more difficult and now the force finds itself a victim of its own success.Durham argues that, when other police authorities pushed through large council tax increases, it held back.In 2003 and 2004, Durham's neighbour Cleveland levied 27 per cent and 34 per cent respectively.
