RESIDENTS look set to be charged more in council tax and residential parking permits from April.

- Carmelo GARCIA Local Democracy Reporter

Gloucestershire County Council leaders have put forward their budget plans for the next financial year.

The Liberal Democrat administration's proposals for the £697m revenue budget will be debated by all councillors at a meeting next month.

This includes an extra £83.81 a year for County Council services from April.

If approved, the average annual band D council tax bill for the services the county council provides will rise to £1,763.46 from £1,679.65 in 2025/26.

This is based on a 4.99 per cent increase made up of a 2.99 per cent in general council tax increase and a two per cent increase for adult social care.
