Council tax hike
From the Swindon Advertiser, first published Sunday 18th Jan 2004.
HOUSEHOLDS will be forced to tighten their belts after Wiltshire County Council announced plans to demand more cash from taxpayers.
A seven per cent council tax hike revealed in a draft budget this week is well above the national rate of inflation and will see taxpayers fork out an extra £55 over the coming year.
The budget plans will be discussed at a Cabinet meeting on Monday before a final draft is agreed and published on February 11.
