Harlow Council set to freeze council tax

The Conservatives who run Harlow Council are proposing a council tax freeze in April and for the next two years.

This would deliver on an election promise they made in 2021 when they won a landslide victory against Labour.

Last year the authority cut council tax by giving residents a rebate.

Many other councils in England are increasing council tax by the maximum 2.99% allowed by the government.
