How your Council Tax is spent

Council Tax helps to pay for Council services provided by Redditch Borough Council, Worcestershire County Council, West Mercia Police and Crime Commissioner and Hereford and Worcestershire Fire & Rescue Service. The Council receives money from the Government and income from Business Rates, although this is not enough to cover the whole cost of Council services. The difference is made up by the Council Tax. The council and the other precepting authorities provide supporting financial information on council budgets and expenditure as part of the council tax demand.

The relevant financial information is available in tables, and links below.
