Why has my Council Tax gone up!
In 2010 Band D council tax for Cambourne was £1482.88. Now it stands at £1611.16. That is an extra £128.28. An increase of 8%. Whilst 8% doesn't seem high it is not the zero promised by the Conservatives or the Coalition. The local authorities that receive government money increased by £99.74 or 6.7%. The Parish Council, which doesn't get any Government money has raised CT from £92.21 to £120.75. An increase of 31%.
An what is the most galling? It is the Conservatives in Cambridgeshire that have increased Council Tax. The following Conservative run authorities have not frozen their council tax:
The County Council.
The District Council
The Fire Authority
The Police Authority and Commissioner
All are or were Conservative controlled at the time of breaking the Conservative promise to freeze council tax.
