Proposals within this Annual Plan consultation document are a direct response to the public’s desire to keep rate increases to a minimum. This core driver means we need to make hard decisions, and in some areas we need your feedback to confirm the way forward. Our proposed average rates increase for 2025/26 is 7.9%, down from 11.7% signalled in the Three-Year Plan 2024-27. To bring the increase down, we have committed to finding labour cost efficiencies, which are currently being worked through. We have also reduced the Resilience Rate for 2025/26 to cover scheduled resilience projects only.
