Your Council Tax, together with Government grants, pays for the services you receive.
The Council Tax levy for 2008-09 is £103.79 for a Band D property. In addition some parts of the district will pay a special expenses levy which is £1.39 on average for a Band D property. It covers work in specific areas such as grass cutting.
Based on a Band D property.
We consistently receive maximum Government ratings but we also keep our Council Tax share lower than any of our neighbours. For 2009-10, our share of your bill will increase by 2.94 per cent. That’s a £28.95 increase for a Band D property, rising from £984.77 to £1,013.72.
More details of how the money will be spent can be found in our 2010/2011 Council Tax leaflet. (1.33 MB)
