Council tax increase for Sheffieldpublished at 17:27 Greenwich Mean Time 7 February 2017
Sheffield City Council's planning to put up council tax bills by nearly 5%.
It includes a 3% rise specifically to pay for social care.
Image source, Neil TheasbyIt works out to an increase of around 87p per week for the average home in the city.
The council's got to find extra savings of £40m next year - that's on top of £350m cut in the last six years, and it says it could lose 225 jobs next year too.
Although we don't yet know the specifics of where the cuts will come - it's unlikely to be in older people's care or children's services - so expect most savings to be in culture, leisure and environmental services.
