Show Notes
Leicester City Council approves maximum council tax increase of 4.99%, adding £1.94 per week to average Band D home. Opposition groups proposed lower increases, with Conservatives suggesting 4.49% and Liberal Democrats calling for just 2%. Critics argue residents need a break due to stronger-than-expected finances and vanity projects, while council leaders defend the full hike to cover rising costs and demands. Budget passes with 29 votes in favor and 12 against.
