Wandsworth tax half London average

 Wandsworth councillors last night (March 10) set a council tax that is the lowest in the country and barely more than half the London average.

The average Band D bill in the borough will be £687 in 2010/2011. This comprises the council’s element of £377 and the Mayor of London’s precept (£310).

The highest bills will be paid by residents in Kingston where the Band D average is £1,663.

Wandsworth is the last of the capital’s 33 boroughs to confirm its council tax levels for the coming year.

Council leader Edward Lister said:

“Wandsworth residents know they can rely on their council to deliver top-rated services and keep bills down. It’s always been the Wandsworth way, but in a recession it’s even more important to deliver value for money.”

The average Band D tax in London is £1,315.50. Final bills for all 33 London Boroughs are shown below:

Wandsworth 686.88
Westminster 687.89
City of London 950.30
Kensington and Chelsea 1,092.43
