[Pembrokeshire council has increased its
council tax rates by 12.5%.
It comes after councillors recommended
increasing council tax by 16.3%,
deciding against calling for a 21% rise
which would have been the
highest ever percentage increase in Wales.
People in the area say that funding is
desperately needed as services are
negatively impacted.
The Welsh government said the
UK government was to blame.
How much is my council tax going up?
Council tax on empty Cardiff homes
could go up by 300%
What is council tax, how much
is it going up by and how is it calculated?
A last minute amendment was tabled
by Deputy Leader Paul Miller to avoid the
projected 16.3% rise in council tax.
The 12.5% rise will add £3.22 to Band D
property bills every week - an
annual
increase of £167.44.]
