Majority face third year of maximum council tax rises
Money is stacked on top of a council tax bill
NEARLY seven in 10 households in England face their third year of maximum council tax hikes.
Analysis published today shows that 88 per cent of upper-tier authorities in England will impose the 4.99 per cent rise this year: the most allowed without triggering a local referendum.
The 4.99 per cent cap, which includes a 2 per cent adult social care precept, has been in place over the last three years.
