All district councils are set to increase their share of council tax too this year
South Kesteven District Council leaders approved to a £5 increase in council tax – the highest amount possible- for band D properties.
The proposed rise will bring in an extra £256,000 to the council. The council also hopes to make £600,000 of savings and £200,000 extra through fees and charges. In a report before members, officers said the council would also need to use around half of a £3 million “budget stabilisation reserve”. A “short-term” solution to utilise £1.534m of its £2.904m Budget Stabilisation Reserve to balance the books was also approved.
