@wandsworth
Council is set to CUT Council Tax this year
Because we’ve managed our finances scrupulously over 44 years, we can afford to maintain the UK’s lowest Council Tax - and even cut it - to help our residents with their cost of living
Wandsworth is set to cut council tax this year. Councillors at tonight's finance meeting proposed a net one per cent decrease in the council’s share of bills, meaning residents are likely to continue to pay the lowest average council tax in the country.
