Councillors have agreed to hike council tax by nearly five per cent at a meeting where one Labour member described his Tory opposition as the ‘Tameside Trump’.
On Tuesday night, a majority of members of the full council voted in favour of the budget for 2023/24 which includes a maximum council tax rise of 4.99 pc and £15.776m in cuts.
For a Band A property, the most common type in Tameside, it will see the annual bill rise by £54.96 a year from April – without Mayoral precepts or town council precepts on top.
