Councillors approved the town hall's budget plans for the next financial year which will see average council tax bills in Wandsworth remaining the lowest in the UK.The council's long standing record of delivering high quality value for money public services is being retained despite the need to increase funding particularly for care services.
Councillors formally approved a council tax increase of 2.99 per cent to cover the majority of town hall services plus a further two per cent which is to be targeted on improving social care provision.
In cash terms it means an average increase of £21.38 next year, equivalent to 41 pence per week - with Wandsworth residents continuing to benefit from the lowest average council tax bills in the country.
