Question Title

* 1. Council Tax

South Hams District Council proposes to increase council tax for 2021/22 by £5 per year, representing an increase of 2.93%. This would mean a Band D property would pay £175.42 in Council Tax for the year*. This increase will help maintain essential services. Do you agree with this approach?

*The share of the council tax bill charged by Devon County Council, the Police and Fire authorities and your local Town or Parish council to pay for the services that they provide, is added on top of the £175.42 charged by the District Council, to make up the total council tax bill. The proportion of the overall bill charged by South Hams District Council is only 9% of the total bill.
