A planned increase in council tax across North East Lincolnshire could be reduced.
That's after a proposal from council leader, Cllr Philip Jackson.
Cllr Jackson is recommending the initial proposed rise of 4.99% be reduced to 4.5%.
He says good financial management at North East Lincolnshire Council was one of the main reasons for the proposal.
Cllr Jackson said: “Despite a range of social, economic, and demand-related challenges, we remain focused on achieving financial sustainability by harnessing the area’s economic potential, expanding the local tax base, and delivering efficient, affordable public services.
“We do also understand the pressures on many households at the moment, and that is a reason for looking again at the level of the council tax increase here in North East Lincolnshire,” he added.
It will be put to a vote at a Full Council meeting tomorrow (18th February) where the whole budget is being discussed.
