Wandsworth bucks trend by freezing part of its council tax

Wandsworth Council has announced it will freeze part of next year’s council tax.
On Thursday (February 4) the council said it will freeze the general element of council tax for the next year, and only allow an increase in the social care element, which will go up by three per cent.
This will mean an average extra charge of £14.03 a year for a Band D property, leaving Wandsworth residents with some of the lowest council tax bills in the country.
Council leader, Ravi Govindia, said: “Wandsworth has a long and proud history of having the lowest council tax, not only in London but the UK. For decades our residents have benefited from this and we have managed to deliver excellent quality services for the best value – making Wandsworth a special place to live.
