Wandsworth Council reaffirms commitment to keeping Council Tax low

Wandsworth Council Leader, Simon Hogg has today reiterated the Council’s long-standing position on Council Tax following government proposals that could allow local authorities to raise rates beyond the current 5% referendum limit. 

Simon Hogg, said “Wandsworth Council sets the lowest Council Tax in the country.  

“We don’t want the freedom to increase Council Tax beyond the 5% referendum limit and my administration won’t be using it. It’s the right thing to keep Council Tax as low as we can.”

“Value for money remains at the heart of everything we do. Wandsworth runs excellent services with some of the highest reserves and lowest debt of any London borough, ensuring our financial stability without burdening residents.”
