Council Tax Rise

Council tax bills are set to rise by almost three per cent after councillors voted to approve the Royal Borough’s budget at Maidenhead Town Hall on Tuesday evening.

A 1.9 per cent increase in the general charge as well as a one per cent increase in the social care precept will see a council tax for a Band D property rise by £33.82 to £1,164.99.

It comes after councillors voted 23-14 to approve the 2022/23 budget, with Conservatives and Cllrs Jon Davey (Ind, Clewer and Dedworth West) and Neil Knowles (OWRA, Old Windsor) voting for approval.
