Council tax payers in Bolton are set to see their overall bill rise by more than four per cent if a proposed budget is accepted next week. Bolton Council has published its draft budget for 2023/24 which also includes £4.2M of cuts to council services.
Bolton Council’s element of the council tax bill is set to rise by 3.99 per cent with two per cent of that ring-fenced to pay for adult social care. If agreed at the council’s budget meeting on Wednesday, February 15, the Bolton Council element of the tax for a typical Band D property will mean a rise of £55 from £1,622 to £1,687.
The overall bill for council tax payers is set to be higher once the Greater Manchester Mayor’s precept is added. The general precept (including fire service) is rising by 4.86 percent while there will be a 6.57 per cent increase for the mayoral police and crime commissioner precept.
