council tax 4.99% up ?
no surprise but I suspect a Conservative council would have the same issue with so much inflationary pressure in the economyhttps://www.mylondon.news/news/south-london-news/south-london-council-faces-4m-26088349A South London council is facing a budget shortfall of £4.3 million even if the authority increases council tax by 4.99 per cent over the next year. The predicted budget gap for Wandsworth Council has fallen from the £37.3 million that was estimated last year, but the authority is still facing pressures from inflation.The council will need to use roughly £4.3m worth of reserves, or cut its spending by the same amount, to maintain a council tax increase within 4.99 per cent in 2023/24, according to a fresh report based on latest estimates.
