Hampshire County Council have announced that households in Hampshire will see no increase in their Council Tax again this year, as the County Council set its precept for 2014/15 at the same level for the fifth year in a row.
The Council’s Leader, Councillor Roy Perry, said the budget would deliver value for money, prioritise support for increasing numbers of elderly and young people who need help, and freeze the council tax, making Hampshire the envy of other counties.
Residents in the average band D property will be paying £1037.88 towards the £1.45billion revenue budget for County Council services, which has had to be reduced by 12 per cent overall.
