Plans to increase council tax in Nottingham that would see households paying at least £65 a year extra have taken a major step forward. Nottingham City Council first revealed last December that it was planning to increase council tax by 4.99%, the maximum amount allowed without holding a referendum.
The move will mean an extra £65.04 for people living in Band A properties, which make up the majority of Nottingham city households. That figure rises to £195.14 for the top Band H properties, making up just 0.1% of Nottingham households.
The council tax plans were part of a broader range of proposals released by the authority to plug a financial gap of around £30million. Other proposals included the mothballing of two floors at Loxley House and the removal of the wheelchair hire service from the Victoria Centre.
