FAMILIES could face a crippling council tax hike with some bills doubling.

Chancellor Rachel Reeves is said to be considering raising the rates on more than a million homes in the top two council tax bands in the Budget at the end of this month.

It could see bills for a pricey Band G home jump from £3,800 to £7,600 and Band H properties soar from £4,560 to £9,120.
