Council taxpayers in Bolton will see their total bills rise by just over four per cent from April after the town hall’s budget was agreed for the next year.
Bolton’s 2023/24 budget was approved on Thursday (February 15) at a meeting of the full council. Members agreed to plans to raise general council tax by 1.99 per cent, with an additional two per cent rise in the adult social care precept, which raises ring-fenced funding for front-line services for the most vulnerable.
The changes to council tax in Bolton are in addition to changes made by Greater Manchester mayor Andy Burnham. For 2023/24, the mayoral general precept, which includes fire services, will increase by £5 (4.86 per cent).
The mayoral police and crime commissioner precept for a typical household will increase by £15 (6.57 per cent). The Bolton council element of the increase equate to an extra 83p a week for Band A properties, which make up over 40 per cent of the borough’s total tax base.
