County Hall announces council tax freeze

3:42pm Thursday 17th January 2013 in Local News By Will Lodge

COUNCIL tax set by Essex County Council is set to be frozen next year.

A draft budget issued by County Hall aims for the freeze, allowing it to claim a government grant equivalent to a one per cent rise.

The decision will mean a Band D home pays £1,086.75, the same as this year, towards the county council.

Individual borough and parish councils may set their own increases, some of which have already been announced.
