"Last night, Conservative councillors on Wandsworth's Finance Committee have voted to maintain Wandsworth's record of setting the lowest Council Tax in the country and to cut Council Tax by 1% this year. We know that keeping Council Tax low is important to our residents, especially in these difficult times. This is why Wandsworth Council was the only council in London to freeze Council Tax last year as we felt this was the single biggest thing that the council could do to help with the cost of living. This year, as pressures on household budgets increase, we will actually cut Council Tax.Although we won't have the final figures for all boroughs until March, it looks like Wandsworth will be the only London Council to cut Council Tax this year. Wandsworth Conservatives can only do this due to four decades of sensible financial management.Decades of sensible financial management mean that the Council is debt-free, meaning we don't waste money on repaying debt interest. And we place a very strong emphasis on ensuring we get value for money, cutting down on bureaucracy and waste, so we don’t need to charge more."https://www.wandsworthconservatives.co.uk/news/wandsworth-conservatives-cut-council-tax------------Timing?"It ain't what you do, it's the time that you do itIt ain't what you do, it's the time that you do itIt ain't what you do, it's the time that you do itAnd that's what gets results"
