Council tax bill and leaflet to arrive soon

Residents will have started to get their 2020/21 Council tax bill and information leaflet.

The Council tax leaflet explains everything you need to know about your council tax and how it is spent.

The vast majority of your Council Tax ( 86%) funds County Council and Police and Fire Services in Lancashire. As a borough council, we retain less than 15p in every pound paid. 71p in every pound goes to Lancashire County Council, which has responsibility for social care. The cost to households for all the services Rossendale provides is, on average, about £3 a week.

During budget setting process, our Portfolio Holder for Resources, Councillor Andrew Walmsley made the following statement about the coming year’s budget.
