The TPA’s Great Council Tax Debate

Monday, 3rd October | 09.00 – 10.00


After almost three decades of council tax, is it still the best way to fund local councils and services? Are councils doing the best they can with the resources they have? Does a cap in rises protect local taxpayers or encourage consistent increases? Are unitaries the future?

Speakers:

John O’Connell (Chair), Chief Executive, TaxPayers’ Alliance

Cllr Ben Bradley MP, Leader of Nottinghamshire County Council & Member of Parliament for Mansfield

Cllr Charles Fifield Cheshire West & Chester Unitary Borough Council

Cllr Joanne Laban, councillor, Ridgeway Ward, Enfield Council & Local Government Association, Cities and Regions Board Member
