Council freezes Council Tax

In making its decision the Council recognised the extremely challenging times being faced by its residents with inflation, food and fuel prices all rising.

The result of the Council’s decision is that a band D property remains at £129.91, among the lowest Council Tax levels in Norfolk.

Leader of the Council Cllr Shaun Vincent said:

“The Council agreed that this was not the time to add to the financial burdens of our residents and following years of sound financial management we were able to take the decision to freeze council tax for 2022/23.”

At the same meeting the Council agreed a £34.6 million revenue budget that will ensure the Council can continue to deliver the high-quality services that improve and enhance its residents’ quality of life, support local businesses and protects the environment.

Cllr Vincent Continued:

“Our Council has an ambitious agenda for the coming year. We have already successfully delivered projects such as the award winning Carrowbreck development, the Plumstead development, the Broadland Food Innovation Centre and the Broadland Country Park. We are keen to deliver more and we are investigating new projects and opportunities for investment while pushing forward with our pledge to protect our natural surroundings and reduce our carbon footprint.”

Broadland District Council will continue to invest in providing affordable homes, training and apprenticeship opportunities and will work with its partners to combat crime and keep Broadland one of the safest places to live in the country.
