Newark poll: Should councils limit their tax increases this year as people struggle with the effects of coronavirus?

Taxpayers in Nottinghamshire are set to pay an additional 2.99% in council tax to the county council from April.

The move, due to be approved next week, means the council tax will rise by the maximum amount ­— 1.99%, while the adult social care precept will rise by 1%, bringing the total to 2.99%.
