The bill for an average Band D property will increase by 5 per cent to 2,171, with all 153 upper-tier councils applying some or all of the social care precept of 2 per cent.
Councils have warned they face difficult trade-offs due to a prolonged funding squeeze across local government, despite a recent boost of available funding by 600 million. Annual council tax increases remained below 1 per cent between 2010 and 2015, but rose to 5 per cent for the first time in 2018/19.
