Council Tax Increases are Less Under Labour!

Tight financial management has delivered an unequalled level of stability in Wolverhampton. This has been achieved by strong political direction and innovative City wide management.

Phil said " A quick look at the past levels of Council Tax show that under four years of Conservative Government through until 1997, Council Tax increased in Wolverhampton by a huge 56.4%!

In the last five years [including this year] under the present Labour Government, Council Tax has risen slower and only by 23.9%!

These figures go along way in proving that tight financial management by a Labour controlled administration, backed by a Labour Government intent on driving up standards is good Government."
