When we contemplated moving oop t'North, one of the things I did was check out the council tax rates in the different areas, and was surprised to see that where we were going was higher. So I thought is might just be a one off - so I checked it against four or five other towns in the South - with the same result. Now, I got a bit of a bee in my bonnet about this and checked again over the next couple of years - with the same results from the same towns/cities some perhaps a bit bigger, some, a bit smaller perhaps.
I left off for a while - but I've just been lured back in, and Lancaster City council is more expensive for council tax than Tunbridge Wells, Southampton and Canterbury. in band B, it's about £80 or so, by the time you get to Band H - Lancs is about £200+ more.
When I originally did it, I tried it on the above - plus Maidstone, Eastbourne and Hastings, with only the South coast towns coming out at less.
I think it's time to ask someone.
Has anyone else ever been anorakky enough to do this? Or is it just another one of my foibles!
Our CT for the past year was £1132.96 Band B.
