Proposals to increase council tax in Oldham, which will see residents’ annual bills rise by at least £47, are set to be debated by councillors.

Under budget plans due to go before full council on Wednesday (March 1), the borough’s portion of council tax would rise by 3.99pc – with two per cent specifically ring-fenced for adult social care.

This would increase a Band A property’s annual bill by £47.65, while for a Band D property the annual tax bill will rise by £71.48, before Mayoral precepts and any parish council element are added on top.

Once Greater Manchester Mayoral precepts which cover police and fire services are included, a Band A bill will rise by £60.98 and Band D by £91.48.
