Council tax bills are set to increase across the country
Council tax will increase by more than 5 per cent in every part of Greater Manchester from April. All 10 councils in the city-region have set their rate for the next financial year with many still having to make cuts in spending to balance the budget on top of the tax hike.
Almost every council across the country is raising council tax by the maximum amount permitted without holding a local referendum. It comes as councils in England face a funding gap of £4bn over the next two years, according to the Local Government Association. Bury Bury council set its budget on February 21. Together with the mayoral precepts, the total amount residents will pay is as follows.
Rochdale Rochdale council set its budget on February 21. Taking into account the mayoral precept, the total council tax increase is 5.01 per cent.
