Councillor Asjad Mahmood, Leader of Pendle Borough Council, said: “Our priority is to provide good quality services to local people, and we know that many of our residents continue to need our support.
“To do this we have increased our share of the Council Tax by 2.99%, the same percentage increase as last year, which is an extra £8.93 per year for a Band D property and £5.95 for Band A property.”
“It is with regret that we have to increase the Council Tax, but we are in this difficult financial position because of an ongoing financial shortfall.
“Our budget focuses on providing the services our communities rely on.
“It’s also about delivering the priorities in our Corporate Plan including providing good quality housing, responding to climate change, protecting our green spaces and keeping our streets clean.”
