Details of grants to councils that agree to freeze or reduce council tax have been published.
Councils that freeze or reduce their council tax next year will get a one off grant equivalent to raising their council tax by 2.5 per cent. Police and fire and rescue authorities will get a 3 per cent equivalent, with the Greater London Authority and the City of London getting intermediate offers. The new voluntary scheme will be open to the same councils as last year.
