Along with you local Conservatives, Mary has been campaigning hard for a Council Tax freeze in this year’s budget. Stockport Council has announced a Council Tax freeze for 2014/15. This is something we have long campaigned for and we are pleased that the council have listened to the views of residents and taken the freeze grant that has been offered by the Conservative led government.
Mary said, "A huge number of residents told us they wanted to see a freeze this year, and our successful campaign has demonstrated that it is the Conservatives who are helping local residents with the cost of living.
Despite the planned freeze, residents of Cheadle continue to have the highest level of Council Tax in Greater Manchester as a result of above inflation increases imposed by the Liberal Democrats."
The level of Council Tax for 2014/15 will be set at the Council Meeting on the 27th February, and local Conservatives will be voting in favour of a Council Tax freeze.
