West Lindsey District Council Tax will rise by 2.0%, Lincolnshire County Council have increased their Council Tax by 2% for Adult Social Care and 1.5% for Non Adult Social Care services. Lincolnshire Police Authority increased its rate by 4.1% and the overall impact on Council Tax bills is an increase of 3.40% (£59.44 at Band D). The level of changes in bills will vary across the district where Parishes or Towns set local precepts. The back page of this booklet sets out all Parish and Town Council precepts and Band D equivalent charges. West Lindsey District Council has set a Budget which can continue to support the delivery of our Corporate Plan objectives, protects our award winning services, improves our customer’s experience, and delivers efficiencies, whilst keeping our Council Tax increase below inflation at 2 per cent. This has been achieved through significant progress in delivery of our Financial Strategy, continued achievement of unqualified Value for Money opinions from our external auditors and the success of our Commercial Plan which has generated in excess of £1.7m contribution towards funding reductions and helping to keep our Council Tax low.

The changes in Council tax for band D reflect the impacts of pay and price increases, government grant funding reductions, the localisation of Council tax (which also resulted in a reduced tax base), and the retention of NNDR.

Adult Social Care Precept

The Secretary of State made an offer to adult social care authorities. (“Adult social care authorities” are local authorities which have functions under Part 1 of the Care Act 2014, namely county councils in , district councils for an area in England for which there is no county council, London borough councils, the Common Council of the City of London and the Council of the Isles of Scilly.)

The offer was the option of an adult social care authority being able to charge an additional “precept” in its council tax without holding a referendum, to assist the authority in meeting its expenditure on adult social care from the financial year 2016-17. It was originally made in respect of the financial years up to and including 2019-20. If the Secretary of State chooses to renew this offer in respect of a particular financial year, this is subject to the approval of the House of Commons.

A further £8,000 of the budget is being held in the Council’s Capital Reserves account which will be put towards the full cost of extending the burial site, which is now nearing its full capacity.

The Council appreciates that any increase can be considered unwelcome. However, the Parish Council has endeavoured to keep the precept increase below 5%, per Band D household, within the Parish.
