Consultation on Police Council Tax Rise

by prestwichfocus on 18 January, 2022


The Greater Manchester Mayor is consulting on his proposals for an increase in the police element of Council Tax. The current police precept for a Band D property is £218.30 which would increase from 1 April 2022 to £228.30 a year, the maximum amount allowed. This proposed rise is of 4.6%.

The main issues highlighted to be paid for by the increase is increased investment in the centre which deals with 999 and 101 calls, and extra police officers, the latter largely paid for by a 6% increase in grant to GMP from the Government centrally.

The public can respond to the police precept consultation at www.gmconsult.org by Thursday 27 January 2022, before a final decision is made.
