Harrow Council’s Labour administration accused the Government of “nationalising” council tax as it announced its latest draft budget.
The council’s plans for 2021/22 include a five per cent increase in council tax, as well as the need to plug a funding gap of £8.25 million, which it intends to do so through non-general fund reserves.
Cllr Adam Swersky, who is responsible for finance at Harrow Council, said it had been left with no choice but to increase council tax by so much to cover reduced government funding and increased demand.
