Residents in Nottinghamshire face a 4 per cent hike in council tax in the coming year but the majority of it (3 per cent) will be used to offset the increasing cost of adult social care.
The county council decided not to increase the basic council tax element by the maximum allowed of 1.99 per cent and instead decided to set it at 1 per cent.
The overall 4 per cent increase will mean an extra £42.16 a year on a band A property and £63.24 on a band E home.
