How much has your council tax gone up this year?

[lunar]

Last year it was £215. This year it is £228. I recall 11 years ago it was £150.

Rates went from $4.4k to $5.6k (FY24 vs FY23) and whichever algebra you employ I do not enjoy it.

 

[Haze]

I don't bother looking, what's the point? Can I refuse to pay any increases??

 

[IvanDobskey]

Gone up by £12 a month

 

[Kill_Phil]

Gone up by £12 a month

Likewise. This is on top of the £6 rise a month on the water rates. And so much for the energy savings, bill is actually going to increase due to the standing charge

Rishi the savours NI cut isn't stretching that far

£8/month increase which is about 5%.

UP 6% TO £2279.95, SO £228 a month x 10

Paying by 10 is great. You get a couple of months of just after Christmas just before it gets a hike.

Band F £3,071.12 -> £3,248.48

They did paint a 20 mph limit marking on the road near us recently so it seems quite fair.

The worked on the road?! The road outside here has more craters than the moon and the double yellow lines that leads up to the junction, well they've disappeared completely simply worn away so now getting out of the junction is a pain as everyone parks right up to it. 5.2%.

Just had the letter through the door from local council.

Single person discount band D

Going up from £106 to £114 so an £8 increase

The services have been shocking this past half year to year..always skipping bin collections specially around recycling

 

[VoG]

Single person discount band B £1334.84 -> £1399.28 so a £64.44 increase.

 

[leigh_boy]

4.7% in my town

 

[Vita]

5.5% here. Nearly £3k a year now.

 

[Trifid]

£5 extra a month (plus a bit more for the first month). But we too are looking to be losing our weekly bin collections of black sacks for non recycling, and to be honest I am in favour when you have people, like my neighbour, who has put out 15-20 black bin bags this morning and zero pink recycling sacks. Tell me that is all residential and there wasn't anything recyclable in that waste...
