How Council Tax is spent on Local Services

Although North Norfolk District Council is responsible for the collection of your Council Tax, only a small portion of this goes to the authority. 

Each £1 of collected Council Tax is split between the following:

76p -  Norfolk County Council
13p -  Norfolk Police Authority
9p -  North Norfolk District Council
2p  -  Town and Parish Councils

The money that is received by Norfolk County Council is to pay for services such as Education, Social Services, Waste Disposal, Libraries, Fire and Rescue.

The money that is received by Norfolk Police Authority goes towards providing policing across Norfolk.

Only 11p of every £1 goes to North Norfolk District Council, Parish Councils and Town Councils. The range of services provided from this small percentage of your Council Tax includes:

• Refuse Collection
• Housing Advice
• Markets
• Benefits
• Buildings
• Recycling
• Planning
• Street Cleaning
• Public Health
• Business Growth
• Parks and Leisure Facilities
• Pollution Control
• Coast and Flood Defence
• Bus Passes
• and much more ...

Enclosed with your Council Tax bill is our leaflet, 'How your money is spent on local services 2011-2012'. This leaflet is updated every year to include changes to figures and information. It is intended to give you a greater understanding of the services that are provided by Norfolk County Council, Norfolk Police Authority and ourselves.
