Council tax increase just over 9p
Cabinet councillors at Lewes District Council have agreed a rise in the council tax of just over 9p a week for a Band D property.
The increase would result in a Band D monthly charge of £192.08.
East Sussex County Council receives 71% of the council tax paid by residents, while Lewes District Council gets 15%, Sussex Police 9% and East Sussex Fire & Rescue Service 5%.
The 3.99% increase planned by East Sussex County Council would mean their share of a Band D bill increases by £1.10p a week.
