This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

Local councils are responsible for deciding the rate of council tax in their area. However, there is a legal cap on how much they can increase council tax without asking local people to vote on it in a referendum.

The Government has announced that this cap will be increased for 2018-19. You can find out more about this here:

You could start a new petition calling on the Government not to make these changes, if that's what you'd like to happen.
