Rushcliffe Borough Council has increased the council tax for a Band D property by £4.59 in 2020 / 21.
The decision was agreed at the Full Council meeting last night.
This still means that Rushcliffe’s Council Tax remains the lowest in Nottinghamshire and amongst the lowest in the country.
It is proposed not to increase car parking charges ensuring the Council continues to support the retail sector and encourage greater footfall
Green waste charges increase by £5 for both first and subsequent bins rising to £40 and £25 respectively.

Band D Council tax levels for the Special Expense Areas:
West Bridgford £48.51 (£48.51 in 2019/20)
Keyworth £3.76 (£1.60 in 2019/20)
Ruddington £4.12 (£3.37 in 2019/20)
Special expense Band D tax amounts have increased in Ruddington and Keyworth due to an increase in maintenance costs for the cemeteries in both parishes. The Band D amount for Keyworth has increased by £2.16 (135%) and Ruddington £0.75 (22.26%). Whilst the expenditure in West Bridgford has also increased, so too has the tax base which has resulted in the Band D charge remaining the same as in 2019/20.
