This year, we’ve agreed a safety-first Brexit budget.
Continued government austerity has reduced our funding by 59p in every pound since 2010.
Council tax will only rise in line with inflation - by 2.7 per cent.
Bills in H&F are the third lowest in the country.
*The government’s adult social care precept will add a further 2 per cent to bills – this will contribute extra funding for services for older and Disabled people.
We work hard to ensure everyone pays their fair share of council tax – we strive to improve our collection rates each year. The rates are currently at 97.5% of the total owed.

You can check your property band on your council tax bill or online if you have an H&F Council online account. You can check the band of any property on the GOV.UK website.
