Conservative, West Bromwich East
To ask the Secretary of State for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities, if he will publish the average mayoral precept in each mayoral authority.
Jacob Young
Parliamentary Under Secretary of State (Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities)
The Government publishes data on the average Band D council tax set by each individual authority - including mayoral combined authorities - in the annual council tax levels publication. Band D is used as the standard for comparing council tax levels between and across local authorities. Individual local authorities also publish further details about their council tax charges.
The average Band D council tax set by each local authority for 2024-25 are as follows:
Authority | Average council tax for the authority (Band D) – general functions of the mayor £ | Average council tax for the Authority (Band D) – Police and Crime Commissioner functions of the mayor £ |
0.00 | N/A | |
112.95 (Note 1) | 256.30 | |
36.00 | N/A | |
19.00 | N/A | |
North of Tyne | 0.00 (Note 2) | N/A |
0.00 | N/A | |
0.00 | N/A | |
0.00 | 249.28 | |
166.27 (Note 3) | 305.13 |
Note 1: Greater Manchester’s general functions includes the responsibility for Fire and Rescue provision. This is not the case for any other Authority and so the figure is not directly comparable.
Note 2: The North of Tyne Combined Authority will be replaced by the newly established North East Mayoral Combined Authority.
Note 3: Greater London Authority is not a Combined Authority and therefore the Mayor has different roles and responsibilities which are not directly comparable.
