Council Tax going up!

[therealjr]

Of course in Staveley you also have the Town Council element which I hadn't realised is almost half the Chesterfield Borough cost. Police is also higher than Chesterfield Borough.

and no attempts at deflection or trying to point out the level of other precepts will deflect the argument away from the fact that you, lets be kind and say misled the electorate last May.

Their freeze might still be at a higher rate than ours with a 3.5% increase but their website is yoo user-unfriendly to find a breakdown

Here we go again - from the DT website:

North East Derbyshire District Council has approved a council tax freeze for the second year running.

It means residents living in a Band A property (42 per cent of homes in North East Derbyshire) will continue to pay £113.98 over the next year for district council services, while residents in a Band D property will pay £170.97 over the next year.

Fair play to Cllr Slack, he obviously went back and said 'The people of Chesterfield Online have spoken and they are not content!!!!'

So even if ours went up 20% it would be cheaper than NEDDC who are quite smug about their freeze.
