Manchester Labour

Manchester Labour has kept Council Tax increases at or below the rate of inflation for more than a decade so that now the average Council Tax bill is one of the lowest in the Country.

This year we have frozen the Council's own Council Tax demand - a 0% increase, but unlike other Councils we will not be cutting services nor, especially important as we come out of a recession, making any compulsory redundancies.

Financially the next few years will be tough, but building on our track record:

•    we promise to keep future Council Tax increases at or below inflation

•    We promise to maintain and improve the frontline services our residents tell us are important to them 

•    we promise to work with our staff to keep people in work delivering vital services for Manchester people
