According to the Sun Newspaper Labour has told Councils they can raise Council Tax by 5% next year

They did the same under the Tories though?

"The Southwark element of council tax has been increased by 4.99% (2% adult social care precept plus 2.99% local increase) for 2024- 25, being the maximum local council tax increase permitted without breaching the government referendum cap of 5%.

8 Feb 2024"

Soon we will have no money for ourselves,  we will work just to pay bills and for (the governments whoever is in power) mistakes etc

Last year in Lewisham, it was 4.99 plus the Mayors add on that took it to about 11+%
