Pembrokeshire councillors have debated a significant increase in council tax today, initially proposing a record 21% hike. However, after deliberation, they have recommended a 16% increase. This decision comes amid discussions on the disparities in council tax payments between northern and southern households, with northern households reportedly paying 'over the odds' compared to those in the South. The council's cabinet also considered but ultimately decided against recommending increases of 21% or 19%, acknowledging that even a 16% hike does not fully meet their financial needs.
