Epsom and Ewell Town Hall.
Council tax will rise by 2.43 per cent in Epsom and Ewell, the borough council (EEBC) have announced after agreeing their 2021/22 budget.
Councillors agreed Tuesday evening (February 16) to the rise, which EEBC said represented a rise of 9.5 pence per week "for the average band D property".
Regarding how the council tax money would be spent, a council spokesperson said that EEBC itself would receive 10 per cent, Surrey Police 14 per cent, with the remaining 76 per cent going to Surrey County Council activities.
"The budget was set in the climate of ongoing increased expenditure as the council addresses the pandemic within the borough, including a significant rise in emergency temporary accommodation," the spokesperson said.
