Council Tax freeze

Council freezes Council Tax and sets its budget

 

The Council has frozen its share of the Council Tax. Members voted to freeze the Council Tax for 2014/15 at meeting of the Full Council last night. This is the fifth year running that Havering’s share of the Council Tax has been cut or frozen.

 

This means that the average Band D Council Tax charge for a Band D property is £1,494.18 per year.

Despite more funding reductions looming Havering is doing its best to provide our residents with a better quality of life and a stable Council Tax with more money being spent on the key priorities of our residents.

 

The Council is spending an additional £500,000 to improve roads and fix potholes around the borough. A further £500,000 will provide state of the art 3G football pitches at the brand new Broxhill Sports Park in Harold Hill.

 

The Borough’s drive to increase school places and improve facilities for pupils has been boosted by an extra £4.5m this year, plus £14.6m the following year, and an additional £15.4m in 2016/17 for school capital building
