Householders face higher council tax
From the Amesbury Journal, first published Thursday 28th Feb 2002.
Householders in Salisbury and district will be paying an average of £85 more in council tax this year to help pay for council services and the police.
Wiltshire county council has increased its share of the tax by 9.9 per cent, raising the average Band D charge to 762.60, and the police authority by a similar percentage to a new charge of £91.54.
Now Salisbury District Council has voted to raise its tax by seven per cent, to a new average charge of £95.95.
The increases add up to a total Band D charge for the services of the three authorities of £950.09.
But in Salisbury that figure will rise to £986.70 after city committee and Charter Trustees costs are added to it - and by various other amounts elsewhere in the district after parish council charges (listed alongside this story) are included.
