Councillors recommend 4.99 hike in council tax

  • Cheshire East councillors recommend a 4.99 percent increase in council tax after the government denied their request for 9.99 percent.
  • If approved, the new rate will raise the council tax to £1,882.04 for a Band D property.
  • Councillor Chris O’Leary noted that the 4.99 percent increase still exceeds inflation rates and would adversely affect low earners and those on council tax benefits.
  • The deputy leader, Michael Gorman, emphasized that without a fair council tax, good services cannot be maintained.
