Edward Leigh has welcomed figures this week which reveal that residents in West Lindsey will see a real terms cut in their council tax bills.

After council tax spiraled out of control under Labour, Conservatives in Government repeated their council tax freeze initiative for a second year running. 

Commentating, Edward, said:

“Under Labour, council tax in West Lindsey rose by 117% hitting local people and these bills would have kept rising if they had clung onto power. 

“In contrast over the last two years with Conservatives in Government council tax has only changed by 0.7 % providing welcome relief to local residents.

“I am sure that local people across West Lindsey are thankful that the council tax freeze offered by Conservatives in Government has had the effect of cutting their bills in real terms. This will be a welcome saving for hardworking families and pensioners across the local area.”
