Labour and Green councillors have hit Newcastle with a 4.99% council tax rise.

Local families are already struggling, this will hit pensioners, disabled residents, and low-income households the hardest.

This is exactly what I’ll stand against.

Had our council tax notice for the coming year.

Apparently, by law the max they can increase it by without special measures is 5% … our county council are a Reform majority council, and it’s going up by 4.9% …

So much for Reform lowering taxes.
