Council tax bills in Burnham-On-Sea and Highbridge will rise by 23% this year after an increase was approved by Town Councillors last night (Tuesday, January 30th).
Burnham and Highbridge town councillors have proposed a £93,830 increase in their annual budget for the coming year to partially cover some of the local services that would otherwise be axed by cash-strapped Somerset Council.
Both Burnham-On-Sea and Highbridge will get town Christmas trees this festive season despite concerns being raised over the cost by town councillors this week.
