Council tax is set to rise in Hillingdon by 4.23 per cent. The figure was agreed at a cabinet meeting this Tuesday, February 22.

The rise means an increase of £51.33 for people living in a Band D house in Hillingdon, bringing their council tax total for a year to £1,266.93.

The increase is made up of 3.91 per cent needed by Hillingdon Council, and the rest is needed by Mayor of London, Ken Livingstone, and the Greater London Authority.

Last year, residents in Hillingdon saw council tax rise by 5.35 per cent, which was a rise of £61.72 a year for tax payers in living in Band D.
