In all of Sussex, there are 17 local authorities that charge Council Tax. Since taking control of Crawley Borough Council in 2006, Conservatives have set the lowest increases in Council Tax out of all these local authorities.
We had three years of two per cent increases, followed by a one per cent increase, and a freeze in 2011/12. Conservatives plan to freeze Council Tax again in 2012/13. All of this means that the cost of Crawley Borough Council services has gone down in real terms since 2006.
