Brent Conservatives deliver on Council Tax promise

Brent Conservatives have successfully campaigned to freeze your council tax. The proposal leads Brent Council's budget proposal for this year (2010/11) as the council presses ahead with its Improvement and Efficiency Action Plan, designed to increase efficiency and enhance services across the council over the next four years. Your Brondesbury Park candidates have been campaigning for this and we've been able to deliver.

If the budget is agreed at a council meeting on 1 March 2010 the Band D council tax for Brent from 1 April will be £1,058.94, which is the same as the previous 12 months.

Conservative Councillor Bob Blackman, Lead Member for Resources, said: "We are honouring our promise to freeze the Council Tax in Brent for the forthcoming year. In this budget we are investing additional resources in front line services, making efficiency savings and conducting a dramatic transformation programme. This year in Brent services will continue to improve and the amount people pay will remain the same."

Brent Conservatives are promising to keep council tax frozen for four years. If you want more of your money in your pocket then please get in contact and help get your Conservatives into power in Brent.

Council tax payers in each London borough also help to fund the Greater London Authority (GLA), which includes the Metropolitan Police, the London Fire and Emergency Planning Authority, Transport for London, the Olympics levy and the GLA itself. The GLA will meet on 10 February to consider the Mayor of London's proposal to freeze the GLA Band D contribution for 2010/11 at last year's level of £309.82. If this is accepted the overall council tax at Band D in Brent would be £1,368.76, the same as in 2009/10.
