How your council tax is spent
Your council tax helps to pay for services provided at all levels of local government – county, district and town or parish councils, as well as the police and fire authorities. In the coming year, Wiltshire’s local authorities will spend around £1,000 million on
providing those services. Some of the money to pay for them comes from central government and other grants, but about £265 million has to be raised through
council tax. The downloadable booklet aims to inform you how we will spend that money, how well we provide services to you and how we plan to improve.
In April 2009 the five local authorities in Wiltshire (Kennet District Council, North Wiltshire District Council, Salisbury District Council, West Wiltshire District Council and Wiltshire County Council) will come together to become Wiltshire Council.
