Leicester Residents Face Record Council Tax Hike

Leicester residents brace for a steep council tax hike, with the city council raising rates by five percent to avoid financial crisis. This increase, from $2,000 to $2,127 for an average Band D property, is part of a plan to use reserves and cut services to balance the budget. The council expects to deplete its reserves, reaching $44 million by 2029, unless significant cost reductions are made. DNN | The Daily News Now! The world’s first global local news network.
