Think mine was upwards of 5%. Policing had a 10%+ increase.

I remember years ago council tax was a lot less, and they did a better job......I'm please we're all moving in the right direction
Still, I'm please my pay has gone up to compensate, oh wait
The one silver lining at least is that now we're all recycling the earth is all the better for it. Imagine paying more, doing recycling and the earth ends up worse. Now that would be crazy.
Thanks!!

4% rise in Suffolk Coastal: https://www.eadt.co.uk/news/suffolk-county-council-votes-on-final-budget-plans-for-2019-20-1-5893161
12.7% increase in police precept.
Our council is merging with another local council, and hopefully there'll be some improvement on governance and decision making as a result. It could be worse though - we could live in the Ipswich Borough Council area, and they're bordering on being so incompetent that it must be deliberate.

£60 here! £40 for extra bins after the 1st.
How many bin collections do you get? We have one black bin every fortnight (which with 2 adults and two cats gets full every time). Recycling every week.

Mine has gone up every year since i bought my first place.
5 years on the trot.
Policing was the biggest increase for my area this year. considering there is a small increase in little grot bags causing issues in the local town, i hope to see an improvement in this area if I'm paying for it!

2.99% the only time I ever see police is when football matches are on.
The council are probably the worst in the country plus there is likely a lot of corruption.

General waste and recycling is every fortnight, the paid for green garden waste service is 21 collections in the year
Mine seems to have gone up by the maximum 5.99%. They are considering whether to reduce bin collections from fortnightly (with recycling fortnightly as well) down to monthly. Charges have also been introduced at our local dump too. Happy times. It's no wonder fly tipping is on the increase.
