After three years of tax cuts residents in Hammersmith & Fulham 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."
