Wirral Council will increase people’s council tax by nearly 5% after receiving backing from parties across the borough.
This along with increases for police and fire services funding means people in Wirral will see an increase of at least £70 a year from April. Money residents pay towards the Liverpool City Region will stay the same.
Wirral Council’s budget, which was passed by Labour, Green and Liberal Democrat councillors, required the council tax increase in order to avoid making cuts to leisure centres, libraries and other key services.
