Council Tax Frozen Until 2013.
The Chancellor George Osborne has unveiled plans for money to extend a council tax freeze in England to 2012-13. The government cannot force councils to freeze bills, but for those who limit spending rises to 2.5%, it is offering them the money they need.
The £805m pledge of money will be funded by efficiency savings, but according to Labour it will only save people just £72 a year.
