Council tax in Tameside is to be hiked by nearly five per cent amid plans to cut more than £15m from the town hall budget.
The executive cabinet has agreed to recommend proposals to full council to raise council tax from April by the maximum available 4.99 pc. This includes two per cent which is specifically to be used to fund adult social care in the borough.
For a Band A property, the most common type in Tameside, it will see the local bill rise by £54.96 a year – without Mayoral precepts or town council precepts on top. And the local authority is also preparing to make £15.776m in cuts and savings from its budget in 2023/24.
