NEWS: Harlow Conservatives push for a freeze in Council tax

Out and about in Harlow town centre with
Andrew Johnson, and Russell Perrin.

Some good news for Harlow residents today.

Conservatives on Harlow Council have announced they are pushing for a freeze in the Council tax. If they are successful, this means that in 2012, Harlow's portion of the Council tax will be frozen for the third year running. 

This is good news, as it will help Harlow families who are struggling to cope with rising bills, and the cost of filing up the car.

When you think that Labour DOUBLED the Council Tax over the last 10 years or so, this is hugely important.

These things don't happen by accident. The fact that this is possible, for a third year running, is a real credit to the hard work and prudence of our local Conservative Councillors - especially Andrew Johnson (Council Leader), and Simon Carter (Member for Finance).

The final decision will be made on 09 February in the Civic Centre. As local MP, I strongly support a freeze in the Council Tax and hope that it will be voted through.
