Council tax bills in Northleach to go up 15 per cent

8:00am Wednesday 6th February 2013 in Cotswolds news By Ian Craig

COUNCIL tax bills in Northleach are set to increase by 15 per cent.

Northleach and Eastington Town Council recently voted to increase its precept to meet the demand of rising costs and falling incomes, meaning an annual bill for a Band D property will increase from £69.49 to £79.41.

What misleading journamlism... Council Tax will not increase by 15% in Northleach, only the Northleach & Easington Town Council precept of council tax will increase by 15%. Residents of a Band D property can only dream of paying Council Tax of £79.41 per annum!

This is happening because the Tory District and Tory County Councils are thrusting more and more of their responsibilities onto Town and Parish Councils.

It's a huge con as Gloucestershire Council Tax is already one of the highest in the country.

The headlines are very misleading , however if you take in account the Town Council increases , plus the forthcoming increases from Gloucestershire Police then overall Council Tax will not go up by 15% but will go up by a %....

Still cant work out the following formulae that with Police numbers falling costs are still going up?

Wonder if it has anything to do with the P.F.I. cost of building the Marriott Hotel sorry I meant Police Headquarters ( the palm trees are really nice though and give a real holiday feel)....

Council Tax Formula

Conservative, stays the same for at least the next two years with no reduction in front line dervices..
Independent goes up and no improvement in front line services.
Lib Dem, goes up with a reduction in front line services butt an increase in staff costs blamed on anybody and everybody else.
