Hammersmith & Fulham: Council Tax 2009/10

Council tax bills in Hammersmith & Fulham are set to tumble by three per cent for the third year in a row as a major help to residents suffering as a result of the credit crunch.

After three years of tax cuts residents in the borough are expected to be £175 better off compared to the average London borough - a massive boost when residents are struggling with the cost of living.

While cutting tax, the council is improving services AND cutting debt. More than £13 million of red tape is being cut in 2009/10 by reducing staff numbers, office space and making better use of IT.

Council Leader, Cllr Stephen Greenhalgh says: "At a time of great financial uncertainty for many families we are once again taking the lead in Britain by cutting council tax for the third year in a row. It is essential councils like ours do all we can to help hard working families struggling to make ends meet, whilst ensuring we still deliver quality services."
