Council taxpayers face £50 rise in bills
Council taxpayers in the Rasen area could still face a £50-plus hike in bills this year - even though the town council is set to impose one of the lowest increases in the county.
The town council is proposing a three per cent rise which equates to around 20p a week for a Band A property.
But add in anticipated increases from Lincolnshire County Council, West Lindsey District Council and the Lincolnshire Police Authority and the final figure could top £50 for the majority of households.
