MALVERN Hills District Council is freezing its council tax demand for the coming financial year.
The government has told authorities who do this that they can expect a council tax freeze grant. In MHDC’s case this should be worth about £100,000.
Members of MHDC’s executive committee approved the zero per cent increase, along with revenue and capital budgets for 2011/12, when they met on Tuesday evening (February 15).
This means MHDC’s band D council tax demand will remain unchanged at £132.33 - currently the 30th lowest out of the 204 district councils in England.
Residents will learn their total council tax demand for the coming year once precepts from the county, town and parish councils, and the police and fire services have been received and collated.
