Episode Details

Council tax bills in Leicester, Leicestershire, and Rutland are set to increase by up to five percent starting April 1st. Residents will receive letters with details and have until February to make final calls. The rise is due to soaring costs and high demand, with local leaders citing skimpy government cash as a factor. The biggest chunk of council tax funds big services like social care, education, and policing. Police and fire precepts will also rise by about five dollars each for Band D homes. Consultations are ongoing, and budgets are set to be finalized next month. Checkout Solipillow.com
