Many Nottinghamshire councils are planning to increase tax by the maximum amount allowed
Every Nottinghamshire council is set to increase the tax it charges for residents this year as authorities across the country face huge funding challenges. For those in Nottingham, the city council is currently planning a 5% rise but this could end up going higher, with the authority having applied to the Government for permission to increase it beyond the current cap.
Should Nottingham City Council have managed its finances better over the last 10 years? Let us know here For Band A properties, the rise would amount to an increase of £1.76. The final plans are due to be discussed at a meeting of the local fire authority on February 23. As the upper tier council providing services such as education and social care, Nottinghamshire County Council charges tax to all taxpayers in the county apart from those in Nottingham itself. Nottingham City Council is a unitary authority, meaning it takes services such as education on itself.
Broxtowe Borough Council Broxtowe Borough Council is currently planning a 2.94% increase in council tax. The rise would mean a Band D property's annual payment going from £182.06 to £187.42.
