How much Northumberland residents will pay in council tax after latest rises
Northumberland residents are set to face a 2.99% increase in their council tax bills from April.
The move was approved as part of the council’s latest budget, which went before members on Wednesday. The increase is the maximum allowed without going to the public for a referendum.
The adult social care precept also increased by 2%. Furthermore, the Northumbria Police and Crime Commissioner has already had a 7.7% increase in the police precept agreed.
We’ve done the maths to work out what every resident in the county will be paying annually from April. This does not include the parish precept, which is set by town and parish councils and varies across the county.
