Show Notes
Charnwood Borough Council in Leicestershire approves a 2.5% council tax hike, despite pledging to avoid increases. The Labour-led council, backed by Greens, argues the rise keeps their rates among the lowest in the country. The increase adds £3.87 per year for a typical Band D home. Conservatives criticize the move as a broken promise and unnecessary, while Labour defends it as prudent amid tough finances. The extra funds will go towards community grants, neighborhood plans, food waste collection, and popular events.
