Lowest Council Tax increase in years

The Liberal Democrats have given Gosport one of its lowest Council Tax increases for years. The inflation-beating rise of just 2.5% is also one of the lowest in the country.

Gosport Council's share of the Council Tax for a Band D property will go up by just £4.94 a year this April. That's less than 10p a week.

Sadly the Conservative County Council have increased their share of the Council Tax by four times as much, adding £19.17 for a Band D property and increasing their share of the Council Tax for a Band D to over £1,000 for the first time.

While Liberal Democrat Gosport cuts Town Hall waste and bureaucracy, the County Council Conservatives are spending £40 million on new Council offices!
