This is how much council tax is going up by where you live in Lincolnshire

A full breakdown of increases for all areas.
Councils are looking at how to save the pennies.

Residents in Greater Lincolnshire are set to pay an average of £80 extra in council tax from April this year.

It comes as the ten local authorities in the region are set to increase council tax for 2018/19 with residents in Lincolnshire paying on average £75 more and those in Northern Lincolnshire £87 extra per year for a band D property.

Across the country, council tax payers are expected to pay on average £107 more after new freedoms to increase council tax were given the green light by Communities Secretary Sajid Javid.
