Lewisham Council, the one party state where you will again Pay more for Less in 2019/20. It is derived from a basic 2.99% INCREASE PLUS an additional 2%.


This comes after an over spend in the previous financial year 2018/2019 of - £16.5M.

The authority has gone for the largest most EXTORTIONATE council tax increase allowable.

These are the recommendations YOUR Councillors approved on YOUR behalf

"3. RECOMMENDATIONS

3.1 The Mayor is asked to:

3.2 note the Council Tax Base calculation for 2019/20, as set out in the annual Council Tax Base government return, attached at Appendix A;

3.9 recommend Council agree that the existing policy of an empty homes premium in respect of long term empty properties is increased to 100%, as set out in section six of this report;

3.10 note the proposed 2019/20 National Non Domestic Rate (NNDR) estimated net yield of £67.4m, based on current information available.

3.11 recommend Council agree to delegate the approval of the final 2019/20 NNDR1 form to the Interim S151 Officer for submission by the deadline of 31st January 2019."
