London borough announces record 94% council tax rise

Wandsworth Council has announced plans for a record increase in council tax starting from next year. The London borough intends to implement a 94% rise, which represents a significant financial impact for residents. Specifically, the levy for a Band D property is set to increase by £958 from April 2027. This proposed hike is described as a record increase for the borough, effectively nearly doubling the bills for those affected by the new taxation levels.
