Camden and Haringey both approved budgets which will see council tax raised as they look to fund the next year s activities.
The town halls voted to raise their share of council tax by the maximum 1.99%, in addition to a 3% rise in the social care precept which funds those particular services.
London Mayor Sadiq Khan is set to raise his share of council tax by 9.5% – £2.63 a month, on average.
In Camden, finance chief Cllr Richard Olszewski said: The budget we re presenting to the council tonight is fully in line with every other budget this labour council has set - its priorities are supporting our residents and our communities, especially given the impact of the last 12 months.
