Wirral needs a fair council tax system
Paula Basnett, Leader, Wirral Council
As part of its budget-setting process for the 2026/27, Wirral Council is proposing to reduce the financial support available to those local working families that currently struggle to pay council tax. In the midst of a cost of living crisis it is unacceptable for the council to seek to balance its books off the back of those least able to pay.

We reject proposals from Wirral Council to reduce council tax support to those local working families that currently struggle to pay full council tax. In the midst of a cost of living crisis it is unacceptable for the council to seek to balance its books off the back of those least able to pay. We call upon the council to withdraw these proposals.
