Richards The Town of Newcastle is working working towards developing a budget without a tax increase in 1993. With many Durham Region municipalities municipalities coming in with zero increase increase budgets, the Town of Newcastle Newcastle Mayor would like this municipality to slay within the same guidelines. _ t .
