Dorset Police: Council Tax

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, if she will make it her policy to maintain the Police council tax precept in Dorset being increased by more than the level of inflation in 2020-21; and if she will make a statement.

Answer

Police council tax precept referendum limits for 2020/21 will be announced as part of the forthcoming police funding settlement.

As usual, it will then be for individual Police and Crime Commissioners to determine specific precept levels within these limits, taking into account the views of the local community and Police and Crime Panels.
