Ha! On reading further in your updated methodology, you’re using your own, made-up inflation rate, not CPI.

It’s not the same.

are increasing council tax by 2%, having promised a cut.
It’s a precept ‘double whammy’:

That’s an £8 million tax rise from Labour.
Wandsworth Council is freezing your council tax this year.
Residents in Wandsworth will pay the lowest average council tax in the country.
