Backing for proposal to increase council tax
South Wales Echo
|January 14, 2026
SENIOR councillors in Caerphilly have backed new budget proposals they say will protect key services and clean up the county borough - while also including a council tax rise.
-
Cabinet members met on Monday to agree to a public consultation on the proposals, which will begin later this month.
Opposition councillors have criticised plans to increase council tax rates by a proposed 6.25%, adding £97 to the annual bill for residents in average Band D properties.
Cllr Jamie Pritchard, the council leader, said the authority had “learned” from previous years and avoided proposing controversial cuts to public services.
But he urged residents to remember the range of services the council provides “has got to be paid for”.
