Council tax in Bucks is going to rise by 4.99 per cent from April.
Buckinghamshire Council's Cabinet yesterday approved the draft budget plan for the new financial year, pending a final decision by full Council at a meeting next week.
The authority says high inflation and added demand mean that, in spite of ongoing savings from becoming a unitary authority, the council needs to find an extra £63 million to cover its costs for the coming year.
A rise in council tax will see an average Band D property pay £1.61 per week.
