Council Tax time again
So, anybody else had their council tax bill though? I was quite surprise to see that ours has had precisely 0% increase, quite a smart move in the current climate.

My total bill has actually gone down a tad. Everything has remained as last year except the local Police authority charge which has gone down 0.02%. So I'm saving a whopping 14.5p/year.

We've gone up. Oddly every part of it remained the same except the local parish council (in a village of roughly 1000) which has gone up 15%. Not quite sure what's happened to make them want that much more...maybe we need some new signs telling us to keep off the grass.

Drug taking is a serious problem in your village?

0.0% - so a net decrease.
Of course, being a Tory council, they had to. After Central Govt said they expected it, imagine the flak they'd have got had they not toed the line. |

I can beat that. Ours was all the same except for a reduction of 2.2% on "Special Expenses". As this years special expenses charge is £4.09 I make that a saving of 9p

I miss wandsworth cheapest council tax in the country!
No idea if Bromley have had an increase or not, but i'm paying more even with a 25% discount than I was!

I thought there was a freeze on council tax this year (with possible reductions).
