Council Tax 2012/13

Council tax charges are set by the County Council, District Council, Town Council, Fire and Police Authorities.  Underneath is set out the Band D [your home may be a different band?] equivalent.  The town and parish average is shown, but for Ferndown residents there is actually a decrease of just under £4.00 for 2012/13 as the town council lowered its precept.  Funnily enough, this was not seen as news by the press, although they have been quick to point out rises in the past.  The District Council's share of the council tax is around 11%, although it is the collection agency for the total billall of it.
