Page modified 18th Feb 2010 2010/11 Council Tax Increases How predicable can the Tory County and Borough Councils
be in their Council tax settings?
Every fourth year we have a County Election with no Borough Elections that year.
Every fourth year we seem to have a relatively small increase in the County precept and a large increase Borough Council
tax. That was last year. Guess which year we are now The year before last it was a 4.25% for the County
and last year (County Election year) but 1.9%.
Last year, (no Borough Elections) the Borough required a 4.96% increase which was a "gnats" below the the
Government’s requirement of 5%. They were clearly sailing close to wind and must have just missed being capped,
This year, Borough Elections this year, the increase is about 3%. Since it is so high this year it could
be that they must be having some financial problems,
