Newcastle-under-Lyme Borough Council’s share of any council tax increase is set to be 8p a week or less for most residents.
Under proposals being considered by the Borough Council for 2024/25, 95 per cent of residents would face an annual increase ranging from £2.84 to £4.27.
The suggested 1.99 per cent increase puts the authority on target to set a balanced budget and continue its investment in town centre regeneration for Newcastle and Kidsgrove, improving Newcastle’s historic market and moving towards achieving net zero carbon emissions.
