All About Your Council Tax
Where does my Council Tax go?
After taking off spending paid for by specific grants, the total spending figure for the county council in the Pendle area is £64 million and for Pendle Borough Council is £14.3 million. Pendle residents also benefit from services provided by the police and fire authorities, but these are not broken down by district area.
Pendle Borough Council
For 2012/2013 we have agreed a Council Tax for band D properties of £240.38. This is the same as the 2011/2012 figure. In addition, some parish and town councils in the borough have made charges ('precepts') for their own expenses.
Lancashire County Council
Lancashire County Council's spending plans for 2012/2013 will require a Council Tax for band D properties of £1,108.30. This again is the same as the 2011/2012 figure.
Lancashire Police Authority
Lancashire Police Authority's spending plans for 2012/2013 will require a Council Tax at band D of £149.93. This is an increase of 2.5% from 2011/2012.
Lancashire Combined Fire Authority
The fire authority's spending plans for 2012/2013 will require a Council Tax at band D of £63.65. There is no increase from 2011/2012.
Total Council Tax
The total Council Tax for 2012/2013 for borough, county, police and fire purposes at band D is therefore £1,562.26. This is an increase of 0.23% from 2011/2012. The figure is slightly higher where a parish or town council has levied a precept.
