Merseyside Police Authority - Saving for the Future


MPA Logo

Members of Merseyside Police Authority have agreed the budget for 2010/11.

Households on Merseyside will see a 4% rise in the policing element of their council tax bill - that's 1% less than last year's rise of 5% . For Band A properties, the majority of houses on Merseyside, this equates to a rise of £3.75 on the annual bill, an extra 7 pence a week.

Chair of Merseyside Police Authority, Bill Weightman, said:

'Our communities on Merseyside are at the heart of all important decisions made by Merseyside Police Authority and today's budget is no different. This year we have taken a step to reduce the cost to the community for policing by setting a precept of 4% which still allows us to continue providing a quality service over the next financial year.'
