KIRKLEES taxpayers could face higher Council Tax bills if plans to raise charges by 1.6% get the go ahead.
Politicians this afternoon revealed the proposed rise which, from April, would see Council Tax bills for Band A properties increase from £934.31 to just over £949.
Homes in the most expensive band, Band H, would see costs rise from £2802.94 to more than £2847.
The proposals will be voted on at the full Kirklees Council meeting on Wednesday.
There was no increase in Kirklees last year.
In neighbouring Calderdale Council, which covers Ainley Top, Brighouse and Elland, a proposed rise of 2% has been put forward.
