Stockport residents face council tax hike
manchestereveningnews.co.ukResidents in Stockport are set to be hit with a council tax increase. The council is planning to lift the rate by 4.99 per cent, adding £111 to yearly bills for band D equivalent homes - £9.33 per month, according to its budget report.
This is made up of a 2.99pc general council tax rise and a 2pc increase for the adult social care element of the bill. The total council tax increase for Stockport residents also consists of the Greater Manchester Mayor's precept rises for fire and police services across the region.
Councillors will vote on the proposal next Thursday during a budget meeting in Stockport Town Hall. Council leader Mark Hunter previously told the Local Democracy Reporting Service that despite the planned council tax rise, service cuts in Stockport can't be ruled out.
