The increase provides the additional income needed to cover a predicted funding gap of almost £7m
The cost of Lancashire police to households is set to rise by the maximum permitted 5.31 per cent from April 1. That amounts to £14 a year or 27p a week for a typical Band D semi-detached home in 2025/26.
Mr Grunshaw’s report to the councillors on the panel says: “The panel is asked to note the details of the 2025/26 provisional police finance settlement, cost pressures and investments and the impact on Lancashire’s budget and consider the commissioner’s proposal to increase the council tax precept by £14 for a Band D property in 2025/26.
In the provisional Police Grant Settlement on December 17, it was confirmed that PCCs were expected to increase council tax for a Band D property by the maximum £14 in 2025/26 without the need to hold a referendum.
