Brown Bin Tax Petition

by aldc on 6 January, 2017

Did you know, that Conservative councillors are intending to go ahead with their plans to introduce an annual £35 charge for brown bin collections, equivalent to a whopping 18% rise in WHBC council tax for an average Band D home?
Yes, you read that right. The Borough Council share of your Council Tax is currently set at £196 for a Band D home (see pages 8 and 9 of the WHBC Council Tax Guide), so an extra £35 represents a 17.85% rise.
The council has called a special meeting on Monday 9th January 2017 to try to force this increase through. The proposal will initially be put before Cabinet and then to the full council for final approval. If approved, the charges will come into effect from April 2017.
Welwyn Hatfield Borough Council invites residents to attend both meetings. More information about attending council meetings is available on the Welwyn Hatfield Borough Council website.
Please sign our petition NOW and help us to send the council a clear message on this latest Tory stealth tax.
