Wiltshire’s Police and Crime Commissioner is proposing a 4.3% increase in the policing aspect of the council tax payment. It would mean that, next year, an average Band D property in the county would pay £10.00 extra over the year, equating to 83p extra each month. Now the PCC wants to hear residents’ views via an online survey on his website or by emailing PCC-Consultation@wiltshire.police.uk.
PCC Philip Wilkinson said: “This year has been another incredibly tough one with the economic impact from the pandemic still being felt across our communities and I am conscious that any increase will be felt keenly. The decision to ask for your support for a £10 per year increase has been a difficult one – and one that I would not make if there was an alternative.”
