Description

Greater Manchester Combined Authority are currently undertaking a public consultation on police funding for the period of 2023 - 2024. 

The proposal seeks to increase the precept by up to £1.25 a month (£15 a year) for an average Band D property and 83 pence a month (£10 a year) for an average Band A property. The current police precept for a Band D property is £228.30 per year and a Band A property is £152.19 per year.  Band A contains the most number of households out of all council tax bands in Greater Manchester (44.7%).
