Residents in the borough are set to pay more than four per cent in council tax due mainly to the county council and police precepts increasing.
Welwyn Hatfield Borough Council will increase its rate of tax by nearly two per cent while Hertfordshire s police and crime commissioner will increase the precept by over seven per cent - and the county is set to agree nearly four per cent.
And after taking into account the precepts from parish councils, the average band D council tax for the borough area for 2021/22 is now £1,943.90.
This is an increase of £76.87 or 4.12 per cent and ranges from 4.07 to 4.79 per cent depending on whether you live in Northaw and Cuffley, in the lower end of the council tax scale, or Essendon, the highest paying area.
Sadiq Khan wants Gavin Williamson to clarify his decision to open some London primary schools. Credit: PA/Newsquest The Mayor of London and council leaders have said they were not consulted on the Government’s decision to reopen some primary schools in the capital from next week. Education Secretary Gavin Williamson yesterday announced that primary schools in much of England would reopen as planned on January 4 but would remain closed to all but vulnerable children and children of key workers in “areas of concern” including most of London and parts of Essex. Secondary school pupils in exam years will return to classrooms on January 11 with the remainder of pupils returning a week later on January 18 to allow for the implementation of mass testing.
