Inflation Busting Council Tax Rises
18 Feb 2007
Council Tax for the Borough Council has increased by three times the rate of inflation since Mayor Branston took office in 2002. Borough Council Tax over the 5 budgets overseen by Mayor Branston is up by 31%, whilst inflation for that time is just 10% .
For the first 4 out of the 5 budgets of this Mayoral term the rise exceeded inflation, only in this last budget does it creep in a few decimal points below.
