4.99 per cent council tax rise on cards
Heywood and Middleton Guardian
|January 22, 2026
COUNCIL tax in Rochdale is expected to go up by 4.99 per cent in April.
The local authority is due to vote on the budget at the end of next month, an annual requirement for every council.
Tax would need to be raised by 4.99 pc to bring forward a 'balanced' budget for 2026/27, according to recent finance papers. This is a hike the council has consistently brought in over recent years in order to rake in extra cash.
Currently the council is over budget by £656,000, meaning they need to find further savings or dip into their financial reserves to balance the budget.
As things stand, that budget deficit is expected to rise to £4.423m in 2028/29.
