Bournemouth Council Tax set to rise by 2.9%

Residents in Bournemouth will see the Council’s element of their Council Tax rise by 2.9% in 2010/11, if Cabinet’s recommendation is agreed by Full Council next week (23 February).

This would see an estimated rise of £36 per year for the Council’s element of the Council Tax, and around a £45 increase overall (taking into account the Police and Fire Authority precepts). Today’s recommendation would take the total Council Tax bill, including Police and Fire, to around £1,499 for a Band D property.
