Households are set to face a staggering council tax rise as part of Labour's new policing plan, with households facing increases of up to £14 per person next year
The article from MSN discusses a significant change in UK local government funding, where councils are now allowed to increase council tax by up to 10% without the need for a local referendum, a decision influenced by the financial pressures faced by local authorities. This adjustment, which was previously capped at 5%, comes as part of the government's response to the economic challenges including inflation and increased service demands. The increase aims to help councils avoid bankruptcy and maintain essential services, but it has sparked concerns about the affordability for residents, especially during a cost-of-living crisis. Critics argue that this move bypasses democratic processes, as referendums were intended to give residents a say in significant tax hikes. However, the government and some council leaders defend the decision, stating it's necessary to prevent service cuts and ensure financial stability for local governance.
