Residents across Norfolk will see their Council Tax rise by 2.99 this spring. The rise was announced by Norfolk County Council (NCC) on Monday, to balance the books following on from the pandemic. It comes just a month after Diss Town Council (DTC) announced that they too would be raising their council tax by 2.5 per cent. The 2.99 per cent rise will come into effect this April, but NCC were keen to remind people that it was short of the possible 3.99 per cent rise that had been considered by councillors. Last month, taxpayers in Diss were told they would pay an extra 2.5 per cent towards the town council for the coming financial year.
