Taunton Deane Conservatives Promise 0% Council Tax Rise

Cllr John Williams, Conservative Leader of the Council, says: “In these hard times when many costs are rising and people are worried about their jobs I am determined to keep Taunton Deane’s Council Tax down.   We did not increase council tax at all this year.  Now, if elected, we promise not to increase it next year. 

I am confident we can do this with minimum impact on front line services by efficiency savings and some increases in fees and charges.  You have told us you would prefer this to putting up your council tax.  The Government’s promise to plug the gap for Local Authorities whose council tax increase is less than 2.5% will also help us to keep Taunton Deane’s Council Tax increase to 0%.
